Help with simple Line Graph
New to Power BI (Accountin, excel and sql background) and I have created a dashboard with various visulisations that work fine, however I am trying to add what I think should be a very simple line graph (at least its very simple in Excel) and am getting no where
So my Data looks like
| Year | YTD July | YTD August | YTD September | YTD October | YTD November | YTD December | YTD January | YTD February | YTD March | YTD April | YTD May | YTD June |
| 2019 | 90778 | 181793 | 260838 | 344859 | 439550 | 510995 | 581320 | 666322 | 758179 | 836571 | 931289 | 1006200 |
| 2020 | 83389 | 166121 | 246566 | 335286 | 416313 | 490190 | 568448 | 649631 | 722567 | 812681 | 913323 | 1004026 |
| 2021 | 94833 | 195960 | 298034 | 379797 | 480347 | 568283 | 641808 | 730416 | 838297 | 940195 | 1055169 | 1164658 |
| 2022 | 114233 | 225107 | 347072 | 447860 | 570731 | 689867 | 782427 | 913441 | 1052326 | 1168016 | 1323358 | 1477256 |
| 2023 | 145179 | 302414 | 380051 | 380051 | 380051 | 380051 | 380051 | 380051 | 380051 | 380051 | 380051 | 380051 |
and I just want a line graph one line per year. As I said, simple in Excel (even the recommended Chart gets it right without needing to juggle anything)
The data comes from a view I created on the database, so if I need to change the format I can
select year column and unpivot other columns in PQ
Unpivot columns (Power Query) (microsoft.com)
then you can draw line graph.
you can sort by another column to rearrange the month orders.
