Creating dynamic groupings based on dates
Hi Clint
I would suggest you to create calcuated columns.
First go to Edit queries->Add column->add year, quarter, day
Then close&apply, create a calcuated column, then add this column as the Axis value instead.
Column = VAR NEW_QUARTER = SWITCH ( [Quarter], 1, "2.MQ", 2, "3.JQ", 3, "4.SQ", 4, "1.DQ" ) VAR YEAR = RIGHT ( [Year], 2 ) RETURN CONCATENATE ( NEW_QUARTER, YEAR )Best Regards

Hi Maggie,
Sure. In any given quarter we'll have a range of projects that have Feature Complete dates in that quarter.
The FC Baseline field is actually a column called Featuretargetcomplete in the Projects table from Project Server. I created a group on that field and grouped the dates in groups called 1.DQ18, 2.MQ19, 3.JQ19, This allowed me to create a chart that looks like this:
The problem is, when I grouped the dates into quarters, I could only group dates for the current projects. So, if/when new projects come in (or dates change), the groups will not adjust dynamically to reflect these changes. How do I create groups that automatically group dates into the right quarters?
