Trying to build a vertical line graph

[lwblee]

I am very very new to Power BI and am having trouble trying to figure out what to do to generate the kind of graph I needed.  I am able to generate the graph in Excel with no problem but it takes alot of time so I was hoping Power BI will be an easier option but it's quite confusing for me to figure it out.

What I am trying to do is build a vertical line graph of a vertical profile of a lake.  The data sets are different by day of sampling the lake so for a month there will be several lines graphed from the data sets.

Below is the example produced with an with Excel.  the chart I used in excel is the scattere chart with lines.  I can't seem to find the exact replica in Power BI

Sample ID	Date	Elevation (M)	TP results (ppb)
top	07/06/2022	1070	3.65
mid	07/06/2022	1043	4.5
bottom	07/06/2022	1027	3.5
top	07/11/2022	1070	2.5
mid	07/11/2022	1043	2
bottom	07/11/2022	1027	2.7
top	07/28/2022	1070	4.1
mid	07/28/2022	1043	3.7
bottom	07/28/2022	1027	4

Hi , @lwblee Based on the line chart effect provided by your sample data and implemented in Excel, I tested it on the official line chart provided by Power BI, and I found that if you place a non-date type on the X-axis of the line chart, you cannot successfully connect the scatter points in the line chart, and you cannot adjust various format settings.

After searching in custom visual, I found that you can try this custom visual: "Charturo Interactive Line Chart"

According to the custom visual description and the example image, it at least supports the X and Y axes in the line chart, which matches the example image you provided, so you can try it first:

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!

Thank you for the help, however I still cannot get that visual to work ask you had worked out. I tried to play around with it too and it is not working still.
