Creating animation chart?

Hi

 

I have below request from my manager,

 

Create an animation visualization that show revenue, profit, sales by date. Use date as the basis for the animation. Do not show a trail.

 

I have a table with four columns such as date, revenue, profit and sales. 

 

I don't know how to create the animation visual in Power BI. Also not sure what is meant by "Do not show a traiil? 

 

Can anyone advise what type of visual should I create? How to animate it? and also some one can guide me about "Do not show a trail"

A trail is when where the mark's prior locations are visible, creating a "trail" as the mark moves forward in its animation. So instead of just a dot moving forward, you would see a line behind the dot moving forward (If you were animating a simple line chart). 

 

Here's an example in Tableau, but the same idea holds in Power BI: https://youtu.be/j-QolGag4hE?si=NFYLJVbr5r266mWL&t=179
