How to create a task management visual.
My dataset includes a bunch of tasks with task state 'Done' or 'Not Done'. I want a visual that will show 100% and progress towards 100%.
I'm struggling to find how to represent 100%. Should I create a new column and have each value = 'Done' then count that and use it as my 100%?
Hi,
If you just need a measure you could always use the COUNTROWS function. Then put it on a 100% bar chart like below. Then use your done or Not Done column as the legend.

You can also use the gauge visual which looks pretty nice for percentages. Just create a measure = 1 for the max value. And you can use a CALCULATE function to get the total tasks "done" and then divide by the countrows function above.
Countrow = COUNTROWS('Table')
= DIVIDE(CALCULATE([Countrow],table[Column1]="Done"),[Countrow],0)
novicepbixer thank you so much! The gauge looks great but the bar chart is exactly what I needed. Thank you for the prompt response!
