ENGINEERING PROGRESS GRAPH
hello guys
I kindly ask your support to solve an issue i'm struggling with.
I'm new to PowerBI, but the tool is awesome and pretty quickly I've been creating an handy dashboard to track the progress of some engineetring activities I'm involved in.
I have list of items with releted qty (structral steel) with planned, forecast and actual date of submission for client review, for both 1st issue and 2nd issue (final). see below example
My goals:
- - group the qty by month, and calculate the cumulative qty
- represent everyhing in a "Line and stacked column chart", showing both monthly and cumulative in PLANNED/FORECAST/ACTUAL conditions.
Last but not least, the **bleep** actual and **bleep** fore shall be connected (actual line ends where forecast line starts) - actuals shown as solid line, forcast in dotted line.
any helps would be highly appreciated, indeed!
thanks
Hi cstamp76 ,
Here are the steps you can follow：
1. Select the 6 columns – Transform – Unpivot Columns.
2. Create calculated column.
Table1 = VAR _COLUMN= {"HISTO","LINE"} VAR _TABLE1= DISTINCT('Table'[Attribute]) RETURN CROSSJOIN( _TABLE1,_COLUMN)3. Create calculated column.
Sep - 22 = SWITCH( TRUE(), 'Table1'[Value]="HISTO", SUMX( FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[Attribute]='Table1'[Attribute]&& YEAR('Table'[Value])=2022&&MONTH('Table'[Value])=9),[QTY(TONS)]), 'Table1'[Value]="LINE", SUMX( FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[Attribute]=EARLIER('Table1'[Attribute])&& 'Table'[Value]<=EOMONTH(DATE(2022,9,1),0)),[QTY(TONS)]))Oct - 22 = SWITCH( TRUE(), 'Table1'[Value]="HISTO", SUMX( FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[Attribute]='Table1'[Attribute]&& YEAR('Table'[Value])=2022&&MONTH('Table'[Value])=10),[QTY(TONS)]), 'Table1'[Value]="LINE", SUMX( FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[Attribute]=EARLIER('Table1'[Attribute])&& 'Table'[Value]<=EOMONTH(DATE(2022,10,1),0)),[QTY(TONS)]))Nov - 22 = SWITCH( TRUE(), 'Table1'[Value]="HISTO", SUMX( FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[Attribute]='Table1'[Attribute]&& YEAR('Table'[Value])=2022&&MONTH('Table'[Value])=11),[QTY(TONS)]), 'Table1'[Value]="LINE", SUMX( FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[Attribute]=EARLIER('Table1'[Attribute])&& 'Table'[Value]<=EOMONTH(DATE(2022,11,1),0)),[QTY(TONS)]))4. Result:

hello Anonymous thank you for your reply.
i will definitly try your solution. one thing probably misleading in my original table.
the column "Graph" in the final summary table was not actually referring to any values. that was intended to clarify the type of graph I would like to use for progress tracking
so the values to be shown in the graph are those under the column "ISSUES" - 1st SUBMISSION Planned monthly, 1st SUBMISSION forecast monthly, 1st SUBMISSION actual monthly etc.
thank you very much!
