Issues with dates in Columns

hi

I have no idea how to create a dashboard with dates in columns. I have a demand by SKus per week, into the file my dates are located in the column and rows with the number.

 

I need a line chart or clustered column chart showing the demand per week. X axis the dates or weeks and Y axis the demand.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Select all columns and unpivot.

Hi @Anonymous

This table structure won't work because the columns seem to have different datatypes. Either that or the data is unpivoted.

 

Could you provide a more structured data (maybe use Excel), along with the column names, so that it becomes easier for us to identify the problem?
