Capture data from different weeks and compare them

Hi i'm new to Power BI. 

I want to capture data from different weeks and compare them using a graph/chart (line graph probably).

How to do this in power BI?

 

Example given below:

Table 1 (captured data from week 1), i have 4 activities with different people responsible.

Table 2 (captured data from week 2), activity 3 was finished and another 3 activities were added.

Table 3 (captured data from week 3), activities 1 and 2 were finished and another 3 line entries were added.

I'd like to graph the total activities per person and track their performance per week.

 

I actually have a lot of other columns in my data table. But i think if this is solved i could just apply it to the whole data.

 

Please comment if my request is too vague so i could clarify and explain more my query.

 

Thank you!!

@Anonymous , One of the ways is that you add the week column in each of these tables in power query and append them

Week = "Week 1"  // In table 1, in other add week 2 , week 3

Another way to add week column and create the common dimensions of week, person and activity and  join with all three tables and use using common dimensions

It worked! Just had a small bump in adding another column and editing the values but i was able to get it with a quick search and try. Thanks for the help!
