How to create a Time Ladder Chart

Does anyone have any ideas on how to create a chart, in powerbi, that looks similar to this? 

 

The data is simple, starttime, endtime, and a duration of milliseconds (or seconds). Each data element/value would "start" on the X axis at the start time, it would extend to a length of "duration", such that it would end at the end time.  

 

To add more context, the concept is to take telematic data that represents the start/end/duration of a given event.  By plotting the data this way, it represents events that happen concurrently and the duration allowing an easily consumable chart showing concurrency and any events that took a longer period of time (in addition to ramp up times, etc).  

 

Essentially, I want to replicate/improve this Ladder Chart from Kusto Explorer: 

Ladder ChartDisplay a ladder chart in which the x-axis is the last two columns (must be a datetime) and the y-axis is a composite of the other columns.

Thanks!

Thanks, however this is not solved as someone has suggested and I have not accepted a solution for this topic/question; The gantt chart does not fulfill the need outlined in the question.  If you have any additional information or have a solution that can map the data points (at a milliseconds level of granularity) I'd love to know more about what the solution might be or how to graph the datapoints that I've provided the data for. 

 

Thanks!
