Gantt Chart custom visual doesn't show bar for a single day

[Kolumam]

Hi All,

When the duration is 2 or 3 days, gantt chart is able to show a bar but if it's one it doesn't show the bar. Any ways to fix this 

See the circled dates. It's just 1 day and gantt doesnt show a bar. Is this a bug ?

I haven't used the Gantt Chart custom visual before, but I'm guessing it's not a bug.

Think about the basic line chart.  If you don't have 2 consecutive points, it just shows a single dot; there's no line needed to connect anything.  The same way if your graph is missing a point (say, you don't have August data).  Your graph will be a contiguous line up until July, and then you'll have another contiguous line starting from September.

I'm guessing that same functionality is happening here.

Hi Chris,

There was an option called duration and it was set to 1. When I changed it to 0 , it showed a bar for a single day. Thanks a ton !

I am with Chris, never used it and assume it is not a bug.  Maybe you could change your calendar table to half days or business hours?  Not sure how practicable that would be.
