Creating a timeline visual with milestones
Dear all, I've been working with Power BI for about six months now, so I feel quite familiar with the basics. However, currently I am facing a challenge I can't figure out myself. I would like to...
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
