Hi I need some help with progress bars. Thank you so much in advance to anyone that takes the time to help me.
I will like to be able to track the progress of 3 task each with 3 milestones (not started, in progress and completed) for multiple pupils. I will paste the sample tables below which I have in power bi as well as the kind of visual I would like. Also please could you let me know what the relationship between the 2 tables should be just so I can check I have that right.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @victoriashenton ,
We can use the condition format in matrix visual to meet your requirement, but the progress bars is the round.
OR you can try to use the measure
ProgressBar =
SWITCH (
MAX ( 'StatusTable'[Status ID] ),
1, UNICHAR ( 9646 ) &UNICHAR ( 9647 ) & UNICHAR ( 9647 ),
2, UNICHAR ( 9646 ) & UNICHAR ( 9646 ) & UNICHAR ( 9647 ),
3, UNICHAR ( 9646 ) &UNICHAR ( 9646 ) & UNICHAR ( 9646 )
)
We can also use the bullet visual, please refer to this similar thread: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/How-to-get-a-way-to-make-a-Progress-bar/td-p/94612
BTW, pbix as attached.
