Hi @Anonymous
If your original data is like the table above, i can reproduce your problem and give a solution as below.
Import this data into Power BI
| header1 | header2 | header3 | 7/20/2018 | 8/10/2018 | 8/24/2018 | 9/7/2018 | 9/21/2018 | 10/5/2018 |
| overall | monthly | P | 1 | 51 | 34 | 212 | 212 | 384.5 |
| overall | monthly | F | 5 | 44 | 40 | 150 | 303 | 388 |
| overall | monthly | A | 5 | 44 | 40 | 150 | 303 | 388 |
| overall | Cumul | P | 1 | 52 | 86 | 298 | 510 | 894.5 |
| overall | Cumul | F | 5 | 49 | 89 | 239 | 542 | 930 |
| overall | Cumul | A | 5 | 49 | 89 | 239 | 542 | 930 |
Select from column"7/20/2018"~column"10/5/2018" and "Umpivot columns", get two columns "Attribute" and "Value", change "Attribute" to "Date",
then create a line visual as below

Hi @Anonymous
I'm a little confused by the screenshot.
Could you use excel enter some example data to reproduce your original data table and the expected output?
