How to display text values in matrix along timeline

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to display data like this in a visual (matrix or other custom visuals). I can do the conditional formatting but unsure how to get it plotted like this. Would appreciate any pointers..

Hi, @Anonymous ;

Not knowing your original table structure, I made a simple example to achieve the result you want, such as:

1.create a column by dax.

RANK = RANKX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),[date]=EARLIER('Table'[date])),[CATE],,DESC)

The final output is shown below:

If not, can you share simple files and more information after removing sensitive information?

1. Sample data as text or screenshots.
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.

Hi @v-yalanwu-msft I tested this today and it seems to work well. Many thanks for taking time to make the example for me. I just have one other question, how its possible to show the Date (which is the headers) at the bottom of matrix as seen in my screenshot? (I saw it in a presentation showing screenshots of a Power BI report). Normally the matrix column headers go on top.  ANy suggestion?
