Hi all,
I need help in drawing a line or column chart that shows the amount of items with status=open over time. So for instance, 3 days ago there were 2 open items, two days ago 3, yesterday 1 and today 2. (The excel below is not corresponding to this example, but hopefully you get the idea).
The data is coming from the protected source, but I have illustrated the columns such as:
ID | Status | Created at | Closed at | Reporter | Department |
57938 | Open | 3.1.2021 | null | Jack | Sales |
57930 | Closed | 14.4.2021 | 15.4.2021 | Megan | Sales |
78983 | Pending | 4.4.2021 | null | Rachel | Marketing |
57899 | Open | 16.4.2021 | null | John | Finance |
29057 | Closed | 6.12.2020 | 14.4.2021 | Ricky | Sales |
28947 | Closed | 16.11.2020 | 13.3.2021 | Tom | Finance |
So the basic idea is to draw a chart, that I can visualize number of open items compared to yesterday and days before yesterday versus today.
Do I have to create a separate date table to be able to track historical data? Can someone help me out with the issue?
If something is unclear and more information needed, don't hesitate to ask.

Hi @Jihwan_Kim
That worked out perfectly. Needed to modify the DAX calculations a bit to my specific data but managed to do it.
Thanks a lot!
