    Hi Consta 

     

    I started by creating a calendar table to get consecutive columns of dates. Then create three measures to be used as values. I put my pbix file in the attachment you can reference.

    Result :

     

    In fact, if the date starts too long, you might consider using this setting below to specify the time period you need.

     

    If something wrong, please let me know.

     

    Best Regards

Hi,@Consta

Yes,when catagorized, it will be 2020-Q3,2020-Q4. But with continous, it will be a continuous X Axis. I thought about using this approach at first, but I saw that your requirement was in the form of something like 2020-Q3, so I chose to write measure to achieve it. There is no way to fix it directly at the moment, you can suggest it in power Bi ideas.
I see that your chart still has the early start quarter, trying to use a combination of if() and blank() will keep it from showing.

Thanks for the help.

VAR _c =
    CALCULATE(
        DISTINCTCOUNT( 'Table'[Project Name] ),
        FILTER(
            'Table',
            [Planned end date].[Quarter] = SELECTEDVALUE( 'Table 2'[Date].[Quarter] )
                && [Planned end date].[Year] = SELECTEDVALUE( 'Table 2'[Date].[Year] )
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF(
        SELECTEDVALUE( 'Table 2'[Date].[Year] ) <= 2020
            && SELECTEDVALUE( 'Table 2'[Date].[QuarterNo] ) < 3,
        BLANK(),
        _c
    )

      Nothing changes with this solution, sadly 

      The X axis still starts at 2020 Q2, not 2021 Q2
