Categorical Variable in X and Y Axis?

I would like to plot the number of times a DateField value falls within FiscalQuarters, similar to Screenshot 1. An example of the data is in Screenshot 2

@jch,

I suggest using a clustered column chart for this.

Fiscal Quarter is your x-axis

Frequency is your Value

DateField is your legend.

This should give you a visual representation of the data you have shown in your Table.

@rsbin  I appreciate the suggestion. The end result turned out a little different than how I'd hoped
