Column chart count unique by month
(This is the second time I write this message since the forum crashed and my message was lost 😖ðŸ˜)
I'm new to Power BI and am struggling with a column chart that should show unique users per month.
I have input from a sql table that looks like this:
TimeStamp, UserName
2018-12-28 07:30:12, user1
2019-01-05 07:30:12, user2
2019-01-09 07:30:12, user2
2019-01-21 07:30:12, user3
2019-02-05 07:30:12, user2
2019-02-08 07:30:12, user1
2019-02-20 07:30:12, user2
Which I want should generate a column chart with the stacks:
2018 dec: 1
2019 jan: 2
2019 feb: 2
How can I achieve this?
Thanks!
Hi Anonymous ,
Setup your bar char as following:
- X-Axis - Table[TimeStamp] (If it's an hierarchy choose Month if not you need to create a month column)
- Values - Table[UserName] - Select distinct on the aggregation

Great, thanks!
My data at the moment is just from 2019. Will this work even when we cross into the new year? I would like it to show which month of which year that was counted? And not just count events per "month name".
- MFelixSuper UserHi Anonymous,
You can do one of two things:
- Add the year to the x-axis and get an hierarchy of year/month with drill down drill up option
- Create a column with the format month-year and use it as your x-axis.
