I have a dataset that has values recorded over the past 4 years. I can visualize it by plotting it the normal way where the X-axis is very long when I group values based on the week. (Roughly 4*52). However so much granularity is not required for the older data. Can I instead have a visualization such that in the current month bucket size is one week. For values older than 4 weeks and earlier than a quater each month is the bucket. Further older than the current quarter, bucket size elarges to a year.
Is such a functionality achievable by viaualization or settings? Or something similar?
Probably not so much in any currently available visual. However you can achieve your custom buckets simply by adding a column to your date table which uses DAX to dynamically allocate days to buckets.
Bare in mind, if you have a bucket with more days, any measure based on SUM will be larger in your visual. Perhaps you could switch to AVERAGE to get a better trend line?
Let me know if this sounds interesting and I'll knock something up.
The solution you mentioned using custom buckets using DAX is also a uniform X-axis right? I wanted a differnetial sizing of buckets over time. I guess, I will use fourth different timeline graphs with different bucket sizes 😄 Thanks for the answer Phil.
