How to create an Excel chart of the following data

I'm trying to create an Excel line chart that would dynamically present the following data (this is just a sample, the data set is much bigger and is changing a lot):

Name      | Salary change date | Salary---------------------------------------John Doe  | 02/01/2021         | $3,500John Doe  | 07/01/2021         | $3,700Lucy Liu  | 05/05/2020         | $3,900Lucy Liu  | 08/07/2021         | $3,950

I'd like to have a line chart with multiple series, where each series is one person, and on a horizontal axis there's time, while on vertical axis there's salary, so that I can see all people's salaries over time.

I tried two approaches: both a classical line chart, and a pivot table + pivot chart combination. The former I can't get to work at all somehow. The latter almost works, but I only managed to get this working for a data set in which all dates for John Doe are earlier in time than any of the dates for Lucy Liu, but this obviously doesn't solve my issue.

(The exact version I'm running is Version 2202 Build 16.0.14931.20128 - I'm assuming it's Microsoft Excel 2016.)
