Hi, eliassal
In order to avoid the aggregation of related data, you need an index column.
Please create a new custom column based on clolumn "DatabaseName" and column "FileName".
ID = 'Table'[DatabaseName]&"_"&'Table'[FileName]Then apply it to the legend of Line Chart to replace your original field "DatabaseName".

That's because 'Column Values' section in charts only accepts numeric data not categorical data.
So it automatically converts the categorical info to numeric .. by applying the count function
Also I cannot imagine how a graph can display categorical data in values area
