    Bar charts are meant to compare a (counting) value of two or more things.  It's a column chart turned on its side.

     

    Sounds like you need something like a Gantt chart.  Look in the AppSource for Gantt chart and try one of the ones from there. I think those will be more in line with what you're trying to do.

     

    Hope this helps

    Hi zimanche ,

    According to your description, it seems that you want to set Date as X-axis, right?

    Im sorry to tell you that your requirement might not be achieved currently . As dedelman_clng  said ,maybe you could use Gantt visual instead.

    Firstly for Gantt visual, use the following formula to add a duration column:

    durition =
    DATEDIFF ( 'Table'[date], NOW (), DAY )

    My data sample and  the visual looks like this:

    Is the result what you want? If not, please upload some data samples and expected output.

    Please do mask sensitive data before uploading.

     

    Best Regards,
