Hello,
I want to create a burndown chart report. But im having some trouble getting the data in the right format.
So in Jira (our project management tool) we have issues with following 2 values:
Story points
Remaining SP
to associate it with dates I need to go into the change history from that issue. I found that in the DB and created a query which gives me following results:
Then i imported this query into Power BI.
But it does not have a value for each day.
I think for each issue i need a table which somehow looks like this:
| Date | issue | Story Points | Remaining SP |
| 2023-04-03 | 83 | 210 | 118 |
| 2023-04-04 | 83 | 210 | 86 |
| 2023-04-05 | 83 | 210 | 86 |
| 2023-04-06 | 83 | 210 | 86 |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
| 2023-04-25 | 83 | 210 | 65 |
So that I have a value for each day. Can I achieve that with DAX ?
How can I create a Burndown chart based on the data I have ?
Hi @Anonymous ,
According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.
(1) This is my test data.
(2) We can create two calculated columns and a table.
Remaining SP = IF('Table'[field]="Remaining SP",'Table'[newstring],0)Story Points = IF('Table'[field]="Story Points",'Table'[newstring],0)Table 2 = SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"date",'Table'[created],"id",'Table'[id],"issue",'Table'[issuenum],"Story Points",'Table'[Story Points],"Remaining SP",'Table'[Remaining SP])
(3) Then the result is as follows.
If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.
