    Series name in columns - getting them to be the legend on a chart

    hello, I have a problem where I have three columns. (file attached)
    I want to create a graph with dates on the x-axis.
    Data on the y-axis.
    And the series name as the legend.

    Does anyone know how to construct a chart from data like this. I do not want to change the columns because I am pulling data from an external source and it will be very laborious.

    Thank you so so much!!!excel help.xlsx

    Select your data, and insert a pivot chart.

    Drag:
    - Date to the Axis Field
    - Name to the Legend Field
    - Data to the Values

    Choose chart type and format to suit.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE
