Milestone Burn Up/Down chart with % progress

Hi Community, 

 

I would appreciate if any one could help me. 

 

What I need:
- Line chart with two lines, one that shows the actual progress of milestone in % and one line showing planned progress from 0% to 100% (should be linear)

- Y-Axis: 0% to 100%, X-Axis: Milestone start date to due date

- The actual status line will be updated every two month with new % progress

 

What I have: 

- Table with milestone data (start, due date)

- Table with Status of actual milestone progress in %

 

Here is the link to the BowerBI file incl. data base exampel and target picture of Burn Up chart: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GkL957TFhi5dFriQVYA-FgP9X11nU-71/view?usp=sharing 

 

I already read through similar cases here and watched videos, but I was not able to figure out a running solution for my case. 

 

Thank you in advance and best regards,

Joh

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Just take "reporting date" as the X axis and add a trend line.

Please refer the pbix

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Based on your description,  you can get the following results by using report date as x axis.

@Anonymous I checked at the file, on x-axis, start to due, how the plan gets distributed over time?

Hi @parry2k , yes, x-axis also needs to vary according start and due date of selected/filtered milestone. So it indicates the time of milestone start to planned milestone due date against the planned and actual progress on the y-axis.

@Anonymous it will be easier if you throw a sample pbix file and share it thru one drive/google drive with the expected output and I'm sure someone will able to help you pretty quickly.
