@TheUnknown First you need to reshape your data, pivoted data is not a good format for BI. Here is what you can do to unpivot it:

 

Transform Data -> Select all columns except year columns -> Right click -> Unpivot other columns

 

It will create two columns called Attribute and Value, rename as you see fit, attribute will contain year column, close and apply.

 

Now you can use the month column on the x-axis and value on values and year as a legend and that will do it.

 

As a best practice, add a date dimension in your model and use it for time intelligence calculations. Once the date dimension is added, mark it as a date table on table tools. Check the related videos on my YT channel
