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

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,

    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.

    Best Regards,
    Winniz
