Graph Date on x-axis when column headers are dates

I have an expense/budget table where descriptions are listed by column and yearly/monthly actual, forecast and budgeted financial information as headers as shown below:

RegionTeamProjectFY23 Actual202301FY24 Actual202401....
JapanTeam 1Project 210050200100 
USATeam 2Project 12007040060 

and so on... the column headers continue on for each month for the fiscal year. The values in each yearly/monthly column is a financial value.

I'm trying to graph and create visuals where the x-axis would represent said years / months and the financial sum / calculations are plotted as Y value. 

Is there a way to do this?

Apologies if this is solved somewhere else but any direction would be greatly appreciated!

in pq ,select the first 3 column and unpivot others. then all the date data will be in one column
