When I try to make it in Power BI, it count's my windspeed values

Oh, wow, got it. I am afraid that, problem is in my excel, which doesn't see values with '.' separators as numbers! 

Anyways, this is what I wanted! Thank you for your help!!

Does [windspeed_value] have a Data Type of "Whole Number" or "Decimal Number" (vs. "Text" etc.) on the Modelling tab?

 

Under the dropdown for [windspeed_value] in your Values list, is it set to Maximum/Average etc, vs Count ?

There is only "Count" and that's why I didn't know what to do. Seems like it sees it like a 'text' then? How can I change that?

Can you provide a screenshot, or load the PBIX to OneDrive/Google etc. to help dig into this?

Should I separate numbers by ',' then?

@enelyyy,

WIth your windspeed column showing left-justified, it must be of data type Text - numbers will show as right justified and italics in the Data View.  

 

When I loaded your data, it graphed OK but I couldn't make sense of the "h" column compared to the times in "time" - you may need to transform those to match the sample you posted orginally.

Any ideas how I make it read as a 'number'?

That's good news.  Power BI is a great tool but big and getting bigger - I'm finding it takes practice to get it working and understand the quirks 🙂
