How to build a graph using given data?

New to PowerBI here be kind. I have a simle table with date on one cilumn and some values on another column, I need to plot a simple line graph. However PowerBI does not allow me to do so, it will only allow me to plot a count, average, max, min etc but never the actual data. How do I do this?

    Hi Kampua 

    Could you please check that the data type is set to Date in the Data tab. See screenshots below. 

    Click on data table -> Click on your date column -> check data type

     

     

     

     

     

    Kind regards,

        Hi Kampua 

        If you click on your line chart, in the visualisation pane, click the drop down arrow next to Planned Quota in the Y-Axis and is there and option called don't summarise?

        If not could you also check that your planned quota column is of the data type Whole Number.

      Could you please click on your chart with your columns added and send a picture of your visualisation pane, showing all of the fields you have used.
