Multiple X-axis/Time Data in Line Chart/LineDot Chart

Hello everyone, I have the following challenge in Power BI:
I would like to display the following table data in a chart so that I can compare them. “Date 1” and the associated “Price 1” should be displayed as a line, “Date 2” and the associated “Price 2” as data points.

Data example:

Date 1Price 1Date 2Price 2
01.01.2017     525.422,26     13.12.2017     530.000,00    
01.02.2017525.422,26 23.11.2020600.000,00 
01.03.2017525.422,26 25.11.2020600.000,00 
01.02.2018539.155,47 21.08.2023665.800,00 
01.03.2018539.155,47 08.08.2023663.700,00 
01.04.2017546.276,39 08.08.2023668.900,00 
01.05.2018546.276,39 08.08.2023663.700,00 
01.06.2018546.276,39 30.08.2022680.000,00 
01.07.2018546.276,39 01.10.2022680.000,00 
01.08.2018546.276,39 23.08.2022680.000,00 
01.09.2018546.276,39   
01.10.2018546.276,39   
01.11.2018546.276,39   
01.12.2018546.276,39   
01.01.2019556.449,14  

 

I achieved the final aspect in Power BI by reducing the line width in a line chart and using data markers.
But now I have the problem that Price 1 and 2 each have different associated time data... conversely, I have two X-axes. 

Excel chart example:

As can be seen in the Excel diagram shown, this representation is possible in Excel, but so far I have not found a way to integrate "Date 2" in Power BI and display it correctly. I would be very happy about a tip. Thanks.

Hi @CZGruezimek 
You can use a date table with an active relationship to date 1 and inactive to date 2,
And use a function use relationship for calculating price 2.

Hi @Ritaf1983  
Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately it doesn't work yet.
I would be happy if you could help me again.
Here's what I've done so far:

 

Here is my formatted data base again:

As shown in this video, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i41-FiscYI) I disabled the Auto Date Time. I then created a Date Table using Power Query. As you showed, I then created the links between "Table" and "calender", as well as the measure "price 2_".

Then I dragged the measure into the Y-axis (as shown in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOcgIuaJHEs&t=39s). Unfortunately, the following illustration emerged:

Hi @CZGruezimek 
1. I added missing dates to the date table that you created. 

2. You need to use a date from the date table as a graph axis.

3. the last price_1 is in December 2019 so its line ends there...
