Power BI Bar Chart

[Anonymous]

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

	Jan 2018	Feb 2018	Mar 2018	Apr 2018
Facebook followers	1,569	1,581	1,590	1,595
Twitter followers	6,448	6,465	6,484	6,494
LinkedIn followers	1,276	1,295	1,333	1,370

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?

@Anonymous ,

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.

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