Can you post a table of the sample data rather than the image @Newbie_1 then we can build an example for you :)

Is this what you were looking to achieve? (apart from formatting!)

Yes. Now I understood where the error was. It could pick up csv file for plotting multiple line chart. Only excel file worked

So in that case, if you are working with a .csv file, ensure you convert your measure type fields to numeric type, by default alteryx will read all fields from a .csv file as V_String as they do not contain any metadata.

 

Once you convert the appropriate fields then you can connect the charting tool and it will pick up those fields.
