Hi @eagletro,

 

According to your description above, you may need to use Unpivot option under Query Editor > Transform to unpivot your "JAN", "FEB" ... "DEC" columns to a column with all months, and a column with all values of each month. 

 

Then you should be able to use the unpivoted Month column as Axis, the YEAR column as Legend, and the Value column as Values on the Line chart to get your expected result.

 

For more details about how use Unpivot option with Power BI, you can refer to this article. Smiley Happy
