I have used the Gantt visual in order to create a calendar visual which shows the days off an employee submits by date.
- When i select the option: days off with the first day of the week Monday, in order to turn automatically Saturday and Sunday as the weekend and grey it out, it partially works. Some weekends like the one in the prnt screen don't turn grey.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @GeorgeS85,
Have you had a chance to review the solution we shared earlier? If the issue persists, feel free to reply so we can help further.
Thank you.
Thank you very much for your reply.
I updated the visual with the new version, turned the day to Sunday, restarted the report, cleared and re-created the visual but unfortunately didn't work. It has the same issues.
When i turn the first day to Sunday, it shows Friday and Saturday as the weekend, and as before it doesn't consistently show all the weekends greyed out.
Because it didn't seem to work i followed another solution by creating a matrix visual and using it as a calendar
Even though the Gantt visual would have been a more straightforward and easier way to implement it , if it worked as intended.
Hi @GeorgeS85,
Could you please confirm whether the issue has been resolved? If not, share the sample PBIX file
Thank you.
Hi @GeorgeS85,
Could you check if there’s an updated version of the Gantt visual available? Updating it might fix the issue. In the meantime, try setting the First day of the week to Sunday to see if weekends display correctly. You can also clear your browser or Power BI Desktop cache and restart the report, as cached data may sometimes lead to rendering issues.
Thank you.
