plot graphs with multiple dates

[Anonymous]

So I have a table with multiple dates and values.

I want those dates on a shared axis and want to plot a line plot.

X-Axis should have Year (Date)

Y-Axis should have Turnovers  (Values)

how can this be done?

data example:

Companies House ID	Date 1	Turnover 1	Date 2	Turnover 2	Date 3	Turnover 3	Date 4	Turnover 4	Date 5	Turnover 5	Date 6	Turnover 6	Date 7	Turnover 7
1079138	2010-10-31	5403555	2011-10-31	5759017	2012-10-31	6146374	2013-10-31	7137407	2014-10-31	8821632	2015-10-31	10837000	2016-10-31	12383000
1412766	2011-06-30	1745595	2012-06-30	1744935	2013-06-30	2012902	2014-06-30	2646056	2015-06-30	3322689	2016-06-30	3399342	2017-06-30	4222377
1553154	2009-06-30	5448715	2010-06-30	4680887	2011-06-30	5258245	2012-06-30	8095000	2013-06-30	11066000	2014-12-31	11770000	2015-12-31	2586469
1792304	2011-06-30	1512000	2012-06-30	2477000	2013-06-30	2512000	2014-06-30	2468000	2015-06-30	2273000	2016-06-30	2084000	2017-06-30	1903000

Hi @Anonymous ,

In Power Query Advance Editor:

let

@Anonymous , First Unpivot the all columns other than Companies House ID, You will get attributes and value

Then split attributes using split by delimiters .

You will get date/turnover in one column. and 1,2,3,4 in another column

delete the later one.  Then Pivot the attribute(part 1) and value again, You should get date and turnover
