Plotting workforce numbers over time

Hi All,

 

I need help plotting the total number of personnel working on my project over time (total personnel by month) over the year. 

 

I have a table called "PEOPLE" which contains all my project's personnel data:

  1. ID
  2. Name
  3. role
  4. start date
  5. end date
  6. isActive = Y/N
  7. etc etc

I have a date table containing date, month, quarter, year, monthsort from 2018-2025.

 

I want to visualize a stacked bar/line graph showing the following:

 

  1. Line - Total number of active personnel per month for 2018/2019
    • I'm thinking that I have to calculate the total number of [isActive] per month into a new column and then plot that as a line in the visual?
  2. Bar - Total number of new starters per month (using start date)
    • Would I create a relationship between People and Date tables by start date and then plot as a bar?
  3. bar - Total number of off-boarding per month (using end date)
    • Would I create another relationship between People and Date tables by end date? Or can I leverage the start date relationship above somehow?

See below mock up (the red line is obviously not accurate, I just put it in there for illustration purposes)

Thanks in advance

Hi @tstraker ,

Current power bi not support direct analysis multiple date fields, you can consider to create a bridge table to expand all date ranges and link to variable table.

Spread revenue across period based on start and end date, slice and dase this using different dates
