COUNTROWS over time Problem

Hi,

 

So basically I have two columns containing dates that sometimes repeat for each project. The first column is the end date of a project and the other one is the end date on the schedule.

 

 

Project - End Date - End Date on Schedule

1 - 15/03/2016 - 25/05/2017

2 - 02/07/2017 - 21/10/2017

3 - 06/05/2016 - 24/11/2016

 

I wanted to count how many projects have the end date smaller than the max date in the schedule but I need to do it cumulatively and in order of date so I can show it in the bar chart. I don't need a new column with the number of projects, I just need the bar chart. I don't know if I can use another and better formula than countrows, so please tell me if there is a better way to solve my problem.

 

For example:

End Date - Number of projects

15/03 - 11 diferents projects
16/03 - 3 projects + 11 from the day before
17/03 - 5 projects + 14 from the days before

    Hi gabrieldiogenis,

    >>I wanted to count how many projects have the end date smaller than the max date in the schedule but I need to do it cumulatively and in order of date so I can show it in the bar chart.

    For each project, there are several schedule data, calculate the max date for each project? Or the max date is the max date of all projects schedual date? Could you please post more details?

    For example, for 15/03, there are 11 diferents projects,how to calculate 11?

    Best Regards,
