How to pull data through

Hi all,

 

Very new to powerbi. I can import data and pull data out when it is simplified and just in a column. However, when data is in this format:

And I would like to pull revenue for each quarter out onto a chart for example, how can I do that? It seems to just want me to pull out everything in the "Q1 2023" column. 

 

If anyone could help i'd be very appreciative and please do explain like I'm five!

@LE2023 Go into Power Query Editor. Select your first column, right-click and choose Unpivot other columns. You will now end up with 3 columns and this will be far easier to do what you are trying to do.
