Hi chuncz,
considering the data attached in my first post, do you have any idea how I could use multiple start and end dates for this visual? What I would need is a visualtization from A to B, from B to C and then from C to D in one line or in terms of this visual: for one identy. Like it is with "John Holiday" or "Vladimir Holiday".
Original Visual Example
However, my visual seems to ignore the second dates (Start Date "Date B" and End Date "Date C"). Most probably it doesn't work this way, but I couldn't find a proper discription for multiple dates.
Date B to Date C is not displayed

Hi Dan,
By looking at your As Timeline visual, I have seen that you are able to keep "scroller On" on x-axis, with date range showing day wise. I have 3 years of data for "start date" and "end date". I want to show day wise data on x-axis of the visual, with scroller On. Can you please guide me how you are able to do this in your visual?
I will greatly appreciate your help on this.
Best Regards,
Prabhpreet

Hi v-chuncz-msft,
I had a second look at this visual and unfortunately it does not meet my requirements.
For one, it does not allow to enter multiple Start/End Dates without rearanging my complete data set.
As explained, my data is structured like this table:
Project Name Date A (Project Start) Date B Date C Date D (Project End) Project X 01.01.2017 01.02.2017 01.06.2017 01.01.2018 Project Y 01.10.2016 01.01.2017 01.05.2017 01.08.2017
In order to work with the suggested visual, the data should be structered similiar to this (Example for Project X):
Project Name Category Start Date End Date Project X A to B 01.01.2017 01.02.2017 Project X B to C 01.02.2017 01.06.2017 Project X C to D 01.06.2017 01.01.2018 I do not consider this to be practicable.
Second, the formating possibilities are rather insuficcient (e.g. displaying Duration or Milestones).
Do you have any other ideas?
BR,
Dan
