Plot multiple quarterly data
Bhavesh -- Thank you. It looks like in your example, there are two seperate fields; one for year and one for quarter. Did you copy the date into two seperate columns and format one as year and one as quarter? My data contains one date field (named "create_date" as picutred).
.
The suggested practice to work with date related data in powerbi is to create a calender table with all contiguous dates to correctly calculate the time intelligence calculations.
I have created a Year and Quarters Columns in my date table using the syntex below:
Year=YEAR(CalenderTable[Date])
Quarter=CONCATENATE("Q",ROUNDUP(MONTH([Date])/3,0))
Thanks very much for your help - I really apprecaitate it. This enables the kind of chart I wanted to create. Unfortunately it is a very unsatisfactory solution. In Tableau it is not neccessary to create additional columns, calculated fields, or tables -- this chart format is available with one click.
Moreover, this blows out the forecasting functionality, and this is a fatal flaw. Naturally I need quarterly forecasting going forward, based on three years of quarterly data.
So far I find BI to be vastly inferior to Tableau -- I hope some of these features are developed but I don't have time to waste.
Hi HVSC,
Personally, I recommend you that submit the requirement at this site. If the requirement mentioned by customers for many times, the product team may consider to add this feature in the next Power BI version. Your feedback is valuable for us to improve our products and increase the level of service provided. Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,
