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

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?
