Line chart with monthly sum values

I want to create a line chart which sums the monthly cost of a set of people, so monthly FTE costs. See a small sample of the dataset below. When I select the line chart visualization and set the month columns under values (sum) I am getting below picture. I want to see the month totals as seperate values on the X-avis like in this excel chart. (see both pictures below)

 

Obviously I am doing something wrong. Can anyone help?

Hi @vvanderlee,

 

In order for this to work, the months need to be in a single column and under Axis.

How do you mean 'In a single column'? What would the dataset look like? 

@Anonymous, I understand what you mean now. Dataset would look like below. That does provide a solution, but when you have a large sheet with many rows that is a lot of effort to transpose the table. In the original table there are also several other columns with data criteria. Surely there must be a way to achieve this without having to transpose the entire table?
