Due Date vs. Issued Date Graph

Hi,

 

I'm looking to compare due dates vs. issued dates on a line graph (or open to any other suggestions). I essentially want to visually display how we are performing by issuing items before their due date. This graph only needs to show 1 years worth of data as each item is only due once per year.

 

Currently the data I have is:

Column 1 - Items (31 in total)

Column 2 - Due Date (DD/MM/YYYY)

Column 3 - Issued Date (DD/MM/YYYY)

 

Using this data in Power BI, I cannot get it to work even trying multiple different ways. Currently i'm just getting no data on the line graph and just a Key at the top with the item names.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Cheers,

 

Dom

 

 

  • Hi,

    I don't think we can plot Dates on the Y axis.  Therefore, i converted the dates to numbers, hid the Y axis and create a tooltip to show the 2 dates per category on mouse hover.  You may download my PBI file from here.

    Hope this helps.

  • Can you please explain with an example or a chart. If possible please share a sample pbix file after removing sensitive information.
    Thanks

      I'm not too sure of the best way to display the data, very much open to suggestions. I managed to create this one in Excel but think there's definitely better ways to display it and I also can't figure how to duplicate it in Power BI.
