Hi I can't help with your problem but I  am trying to prodcue something simialr to you the way your bars are split for the categories on the y axis.

 

I am trying to produce a gantt chart that shows when my staff are assinged to a projetct. If person a is on a project from 01/01/20178 to 30/06/2018 and then another proejct from 01/09/2018 to 31/12/2018. I want 2 seperare bars on the same line with a gap between the end proejct and start date of the new proejct.

 

I'm new to Power BI so your help would be appreciated

    Did you find an answer for your problem?

    I am trying to do the same as you, but the chart I am using is creating a new line for each start and end date and not grouping similar names in the same line.

        Success!

         

        Use the visual called "Gantt"

         

        Construct the following data:

         

        Task

        Startdate

        Duration (as a number)

         

        in format_general you cam press "Group tasks"

         

        this works for me.
