Gantt visualisation displaying multiple dependencies
Good news - xViz does have a solution for >2 dependencies. It's possible to just use the primary connector and configure the dependencies in a single column in PowerBI with the correct syntax and delimiter. See their post here
Hi,
I am new to xViz Gantt Chart and have tried to use the sample data provided by xviz.com to create the visualisation. However, when I opened Power BI Desktop and plotted the gantt chart, I was not able to display the dependencies/relationship using "Primary ConnectTo" and "Primary ConnectorType". Could anyone here help me out? Thank you!!
Obtained sample data from here - How to configure and launch Gantt Chart in Power BI - A Quick Guide (xviz.com)
The sample data doesn't look quite right - it seems to be trying to create connections based on the Resource name, but the data is task-based. Try making the following changes to the "Primary ConnectTo" data in Column G of the sample data and it should give you an understanding of how it all works.
| Cell Reference | Currently Says… | Try Changing to…. |
| G2 | Kimberley | ["UI/UX"] |
| G4 | Randy | ["Project Plan"] |
| G8 | Randy | ["Busines Case Preparation","Review"] |
| G10 | Jack | ["Systems Architecture","Project Plan"] |
It should look something like this:
