Data structure / type of visual to use for complicated data set

All,

If I have the following table:

DateStatusImportantMaterialCriticalTotal
31 Dec 22In Progress2226
31 Dec 22Overdue1102
30 Sep 22In Progress0101
30 Sep 22Overdue0202

31 Jul 22

In Progress0101
31 Jul 22Overdue1203

 

Which visual would I use to get a vertical bar chart that has the overdue and In Progress side by side and represented for each quarter?  Or can I do this in PBI?  Or is my data set messed up?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi, 

I think you can achive this by using the Bar chart or any chart to show the status and the slicer option with date hierarchy.

Hey Sandeep - well, no, but thanks for trying 🙂

 

I'm trying to get something like this:

However, I'd like to get the 'InProgress' and 'OverDue' together for each color category - so there would be three side by side columns of 2 statuses.  (and then just one date under those columns... that might be stretching what Excel or PBI can do...).  I think it's the data structure that's not allowing for this to work.

Hi,

 

You can achieve the same with the same data,

Just use the Date and Status on X-axis and other column on Y-Axis

 

Hope this help

 

Hi Sandeep,

Thanks - I did get that while muddling around with the settings on the two axis.  The slider was the part that made this come together.  I still don't like the way the bar charts look so had to go with a line visual.
