Power BI Bar Chart

Hi - I'm new to PowerBI and am trying to create a bar chart.  My base data looks like this:

When I try to create a bar chart using this data it looks like this:

 

Custom10 (Blank) 01/03/2018 1333 1590 6484

 

What am I doing wrong?

    The solution was to transpose the data in Excel.  This then allowed me to create the charts in Power BI.

    So the issue is why the date in bar chart is difference from that in the original table, right? You can click Format of the date type-> select (March 2001 MMMM yyyy) and check if it can meet your requirement.
