Is there a way to use the various Gannt Charts to display time instad of dates?
Scenario:
I have 4 employees that do a variety of work, I have start/end datetime formatted for each task, but some tasks overlap. I want to show that type of overlap.
Ideally I have a 3rd scenario of also overlapping their user status (Think away/busy/available in teams)
So the idea is
User | Start Time | End Time | Task Type | Duration (seconds)
1 | 1/29/2024 9:00:00 AM | 1/29/2024 9:02:00 AM | SMS | 120
1 | 1/29/2024 9:01:00 AM | 1/29/2024 9:04:00 AM | EMAIL | 180
1 | 1/29:2024 9:00:30 AM | 1/29/2024 9:15:00 AM | CALL | 870
So this would show as
User 1
SMS [|||]
EMAIL [|||]
CALL [|||||||||||||||||||||]
And my ideal state would also show their status as a line or somethin but I can do that in a seperate visual following the exact same logic as this as our users are considered available if not on a call and not on more than 5 open SMS/Email tasks.
I'm just struggling to find the right visual, maybe its not a thing and if not thats OK but I wanted to ask here incase I'm just missing something fairly obvious.
This chart would be displayed for one user at a time, just to show how busy they are, and because they can have multiple SMS/EMAIL I'd expect a different line for each.
Hi @tagban ,

That doesn't appear to be related to PowerBI?

So with your example I did figure out where they hide the hours so I can show time instead of days. Is there any other customizations to this visual IE a dark line between each item? I seem to have a lot that run together.
Hi @tagban ,
I'm sorry I can't help you more.Based on the above information, if you are a Power BI Pro licensee, you can create a support ticket for free and a dedicated Microsoft engineer will come to solve the problem for you.
It would be great if you continue to share in this issue to help others with similar problems after you know the root cause or solution.

Its pretty much what I got as well. I can only seem to see the date range at the top of the charts so of course it starts all items at the very begining of the hour. I'd prefer to see it at the point of each hour it actually starts/ends, with overlapping potential. That's what makes this confusing for me, is that most PowerBI stuff seems designed to do dates and not time as well.
