Migrate this tableau visual object into power bi

I am trying to migrate that visual object from Tableau to Power BI. As you can see, it is a simple way to chronologically view how a subsystem has been performing well or poorly over time. I have attempted to create something similar in Power BI without using a Gantt chart due to licensing issues with imported visual objects, which then affect publishing. I have to manage with Power BI's native visual objects. With the solution I have attempted, the width of the columns makes it not immediately clear what is being looked for, and it’s inconvenient to have to scroll through so much information. Do you have any suggestions for achieving something similar to the Tableau visual object?
Thank you very much!

Is there an option in this visualization object to prevent the column width from adjusting to the text, in order to achieve narrower columns and create a simpler overall view?

There is, but only for existing columns. Any newly/dynamically added columns will render in full width.

This can be done with Deneb  (to some extent).  Look for visuals that support bars with two x values.

Thank you for your suggestion! Unfortunately, I cannot use imported visual objects due to licensing and publishing constraints. Therefore, I am looking for a solution using only Power BI's native visuals.

An alternative I considered is to adapt the visual object to fit the dimensions, so that the columns are not too wide, and we can achieve a similar view to the Tableau chart using a Matrix visual.

If anyone has additional tips on achieving this or making the Matrix visual more compact and visually similar to the Tableau example, I would appreciate your input!

You would have to quantize your time intervals and the massively mutilate the matrix visual. 

 

Note that custom visuals are embedded in the report, no need for report users to install them.
