Visualising simple table as diagram
Hello!
Im new to Power BI.
I've got a table from excel (first image) which is illustraded as a linear graph in excel. (second image).
I want the same illustration in Power BI. So i want my x axis with years and quarters and the lines with the values given in the table. Like on 2020 Qtr 3 1 starting project, 2020 Qtr 4 4 starting projects etc..
Is this easy possible? I tried it and got some weird solutions. I dont know, maybe im just stupid.
Thanks for the help!
Hi Consta ,
According to your description, you need to modify your data model appropriately in power query. Converted to a table structure similar to the following. Then put the corresponding fields in the line chart visual, refer to the following:
Note that the field type of value needs to be changed from text to whole number, otherwise an error will be displayed.
If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.

Consta , Transpose this table or unpivot in power query.
Then you should be able to use Qtr on axis
