Plotting dates on Y axis

Hello community.

 

I want dates to be plotted on the y axis in a line chart visual, with the visual working as if it were plotting numbers but showing dates in the legend and axis instead of numbers.

 

Thanks a lot!

Sorry I'm not clear about what your expected line chart looks like. Could you please provide some sample data and the expected result more intuitively?

My data is private, but I want something kind of like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=chart+with+dates+vertical+axis&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjStZ_g1JvtAhWQnFk...

 

The important part is that dates should be on the y axis.

@lflorez You may go to this link https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Create-Milestone-Trend-Analysis-MTA-in-Power-BI/m-p/775632#... and try barakb32's solution with a Python visual from his Github page. It will display like below.
