Project Tracking

 

Hi there,

 

I'm trying to create a project tracking chart, whihc is basically a project managemnet S curve.

The only difference is my X axis is date (so continuous variable) and my Y axis are the different projects - 48 different sprints - (so a categorical variable).

I was able to do it in excel (picture below), and I'm trying ot accomnplish this in power BI.

Please help.

 

Cheers

Hi @Anonymous 

Line chart doesn't support to use "date" in the y-axis.

 

One workaround is as below:

Open Edit queries,

Click on "sprint" column, then select add column- duplicates column,

Click on the duplicated column, then select transform->split column,

Select "planned" and "actual" columns, then select transform->unpivot columns,

Close && apply,

 

Create another table and connnect it with original table

calendar = CALENDARAUTO()

Hi @Anonymous 

Another workaround is to create a R visual so that the date field can be used in Y axis.

After transformation as my previous post, create a r visual as below:

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Sounds pretty straight forward, where did you get stuck?

Hi Robin,

I've added a screenshot of the data I'm trying to visualise in power BI.

As you can see, the sprint data is on the x axis and is categorical and the y axis is the date the sprint is completed (there will be 2 trendlines, planned finish vs actual finish).

This is what I'm getting in Power BI.

As you can see, it's trying to count the sprints, but I need the sprints to be discrete.

Hope this provides more clarification.


Cheers.
