Trouble Recreating a Visual Built in Another Program

[Erin89]

Hello, 

First time user of the community forum so apologies if this is in the inocrrect location, but I am attempting to recreate a visual from a separate visualization program.  It essentially had dates in rows and hours in columns.  The dots are represetative of rates and the color of the dots is set by the range of values.   

I have used the conditional formatting --> data bars option in prior reporting, but the business didn't love that as much.  Any suggestions for how to accomplish something similar?

Use Conditional Formatting - Icons, and then select "Icons only".
