Multiple Line chart with python visualization

I was trying to have two line charts on the same figure. However, the visualization only shows one line.

Here're the fields I have in the python visual, Spend 2018 and Spend 2019 are measures:

Here's my code in the python script editor:

# The following code to create a dataframe and remove duplicated rows is always executed and acts as a preamble for your script: 

# dataset = pandas.DataFrame(Week of,Year,Spend 2018, Spend 2019)
# dataset = dataset.drop_duplicates()

# Paste or type your script code here:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
line1 = dataset.plot('Week of','Spend 2018',color="#333333") 
line2 = dataset.plot('Week of','Spend 2019',color="#999999")
plt.show() 

How can I have both 2018 and 2019 lines on the figure at the same time? Thanks in advance!

I think this is happening because the way it is set up you are trying to plot to two different axes. You need to get the current axes and plot to it.

 

Try something like this:

# The following code to create a dataframe and remove duplicated rows is always executed and acts as a preamble for your script: 

# dataset = pandas.DataFrame(Week of,Year,Spend 2018, Spend 2019)
# dataset = dataset.drop_duplicates()

# Paste or type your script code here:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
ax = plt.gca() line1 = dataset.plot('Week of','Spend 2018',color="#333333", ax=ax) line2 = dataset.plot('Week of','Spend 2019',color="#999999", ax=ax) plt.show()
