Line graph of student grade over the last year

Help me please:

 

Name19-20 maths19-20 french20-21 math20-21 french21-22 math21-22 french
John857668845445
Bob758774807685
Roger559268907588

 

This is the data I have right now. 

 

I want to be able to show in a line graph the year progression of a selected subject for a specific student selected with a filter. 

 

Exemple of the X axis wanted : 19-20 math, 20-21 math, 21-22 math. 

Example of Y axis wanted : result 1 to 100.  

 

 

I am a pBI beginner.

 

Thanks.

You will want to change your table structure a bit! In the Power Query Editor click the transform tab and select your Name column. Next, select the unpivot columns dropdown > click 'Unpivot other columns'

Next, we can split out the year and the subject from 1 field into 2. This will help with filtering and such later (or if you wanted to see an average for the year for a student without a specific subject).

Under the transform tab, select your 'Attribute' column (this should be your year/subject). Click the split column > by number of characters and set your parameters as shown in this screenshot.

You can rename your columns to reflect what they mean. You should be left with something like this:
*side note, this data has multiple math variations.. You can find/replace with whichever math(s) you want to use in the subject column. Right click column > Replace values

Click the home tab > close and apply.

To create your line graph as detailed in your post. Click the line chart, add in your year and subject to the x-axis. Grade in the y-axis, and create filters for your students and subjects. You should be left with something like this:

If you want to edit your axis range, click the format visual button (in the visualizations pane) > expand y-axis > set your min and max to 1 and 100. You'll have your final graph!
