Line Chart plots everything in one line?

I have tried everything I can think of to fix this...but in my line chart, Power BI keeps graphing each set on the same line, even with a legend?

The X-Axis is Week.Day and is of type "decimal number".  So I don't understand why I am only getting one plot line?

Hi @rmcgrath 

 

Based on the data you attached, those lines sit on different time axes with no day-level overlap.

That means they won’t stack one beneath the other—they’ll appear one after the other, as in the screenshot.

(The only exception would be if you’re comparing day-of-week trends independent of the specific week.)

I’ve also included a PBIX file with an example so you can compare your steps to mine and fix whatever needs adjustme

The expected outcome would be a line for each set (MLL10001 and OVL23T08), with PctLiv on the Y-Axis and WeekDay on the X-Axis.  Special Note:  WeekDay is the Week number separated with a "." and then the day.  So, for example, 20.6 would represent the 20th week, Day 6.
