Need help with sorting data to create Line Chart

Hi everyone,

 

Forgive me if this sound too simple. I'm still learning PowerBi. So I have a dimension table with the following 5 columns:

 

SKU (consist txt SKU- primary key), SEPT, OCT, NOV, DEC (monthly sales of each data).

 

I have another "inventory" table with SKU as a foreign key. My goal is that I'm trying to see the trend of sales in the line chart. Maybe if I click some SKU in my "inventory" table, I could see x-axis (month) and y-axis (sales) in a line chart next to it on the same page.  

 

I'm hoping if anyone can help me out there or show me the way, I will really appreciate it. Thank you!

BTW, I think you need to do 'unpivot columns' on your table before create visual, it is hard to use current table structure to create line chart with your requirement.
