Creating a count when dates within a particular month - Stacked bar chart

[stokidez]

I’m trying to add a stacked bar chart visual which provides a count of the number of projects per month which meet certain planned milestones dates. If the date falls within that month, I want to add 1 to the count for that particular month.

Example dataset which contains the same fields as my real table below. Also provided an example of the visual I’m looking to achieve.

How am I best to try and achieve this within PowerBI please?

Thanks again,

Dataset
	GW1 Paper Completion Planned	GW2 / Award Paper Draft Target Complete	GW3 Draft Target Complete	Contract Signed/Project Completion Date (Planned)
Project A	22/05/2021	30/07/2021	12/09/2021	20/11/2021
Project B	20/09/2021	01/02/2022	22/02/2022	30/05/2022
Project C	18/06/2021	19/06/2021	15/09/2021	11/10/2021

Formatted table in order to create visual above in excel

Hi @stokidez ，

Try to rename your columns in Power Query Editor, then select Project column and right-click to select opyion "Unpivot Other Columns".

Your date will be displayed as shown in the image blow, then create a visual.

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
