Visualisation Advice

Hello all,

 

I am not sure how to best visualise a metric and thought I may see what others suggest.

We have a metric that is a ratio. For every 1 safety Incident that occurs the organisation should be conducting 6 positive preventative actions.

 

So a 6:1 ratio.

 

We track these in a system and I can pull and manipulate the data to get the numbers, what I am not sure on how to do is represent it visually. So an example would be...

 

Actual - 213 Incidents : 540 Positive actions

Target - 213 Incidents : 1278 Positive actions (213 x 6)

 

We cannot "control" the number of incidents that occur but we can increase the expectation of positive actions. The "incident" number will grow an a day to day basis so the "213" in this situation is not fixed or predetermined.

 

Cheers,

J

    Hey

    I found out for myself. I needed to create a column to sort by "yyyy mm"

    Then it all worked!

  • Anonymous you can use combo chart where actuals can be on the bar and target as line chart, and measure for actuals and target will be

     

    Actuals = COUNT ( Table[Incidents] )
    
    Target = [Actuals] * 6

     

    I would 💖 Kudos 🙂 if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!

      Hey thanks for that ! I like that idea.

       

      Now that I have applied it I cannot get it to behave properly!

       

      This is my very basic date table

      This is the outcome if I apply dd/mm/yyyy date to the X axis. It is correct but I dont want it day by day.

      This is the outcome if I do it by month name... but I cannot get it to go in proper month order??

      This is the outcome with month number. Strangely it adds a "0" which I dont want and alternates labels??

       

      Also as an aside I would like it to display 13 months as we often review things as 13MMA.

       

      Thanks!

        Hi Anonymous ,

         

        You could add a rule in filter pane to make result show value which is not blank.
