How to do cumulative line chart in power bi

Hi, i am still new to power bi and i want to do cumulative line chart . Below is my data(from 1 jan to 30 june) and i need to do cumulative weekly/quarterly/monthly line chart based on country and ast. What i know for now is that in power bi can select only one column, not same as in excel can select for example from 1 jan to 1 feb. 

 

Is there any alternative ways to do, or how do i arrange it in excel so that easier to do in power bi? Thanks in advance.

@camelia_  - Please transpose the data in Power query and you can create the line charts.

1) Go to Power Query editor. Select the two columns - Country and Ast. Right click and select 'Unpivot other columns'.

2.  Your table will now look like below. Rename the column 'Attribute' to 'Date'.

hi @gauthamboppana  , thanks for the solution now i am able to do the cumulative line chart. Is just that why I get the same for all country? The chart suppose to have different line for each country.

And also, i want to do weekly cumulative line chart, i try to use this

 Week Number = WEEKNUM ( 'Calendar'[Date] )

but it can't detect the date in the calendar table.
