Gantt 3.0.12.0 visual Start Date field won't accept Measure type field

Hi!

 

Wonderring if anyone noticed that Gantt 3.0.12.0 visual Start Date field won't accept Measure type field. Gantt 3.0.12.0 visual is the Gantt type extra visual in Get more visuals section, provided directly by Microsoft.

 

It is letting me use Measure type in End Date section, but not in Start Date. Crazy...

Hi @niculeica ,

 

Measure is usually the result of dynamic calculations, such as sums, averages, etc., rather than a fixed date value. Since Gantt charts require a specific start date to accurately plot the timeline of a task, if a Measure type field is used, the Gantt chart is unable to determine a fixed start date, and thus is unable to correctly display the task's timeline.
