Requesting Guide on Visuals for File Process Tracking For entire day

[RKM]

Hi Experts

I am looking for your help. This is not a direct technical question though. Actually more of a guidance about visualization and your experiance. So we have multiple file [nearly 150] processing through-out the day. They all go-through different processes (like, Receive/Process/Delivery to Downstream etc.) and for each of these files and for each of those processes - have corresponding respective [Earliest SLA] as well as [Latest SLA] and we'd like to have a waterfall view to see where we stand, where there is SLA breach so on and so forth. Currently I'm representing in flat table format as below... but with the Help of Power BI and its advanced Visualization features - how would you better reflect this please, like progress or traffic light etc?

Any Idea and working example/pbix? Below are representative data.

Current Time: 2 PM
FileName	Event	Lower_SLA	Upper_SLA	Actual	Auto Message
file1.txt	Received	9AM	9:30AM	9:05AM	On-Time
file1.txt	Processed	9AM	9:45AM	9:09AM	On-Time
file1.txt	delivered	9:30AM	11AM	10:20AM	On-Time
file2.txt	Received	9:30AM	10:30AM	10:39AM	Done. Missed SLA
file2.txt	Processed	9:30AM	11AM	10:46AM	On-Time
file2.txt	delivered	11AM	11:30AM	11:10AM	On-Time
file3.txt	Received	9:15AM	9:30AM	9:05AM	Ahead-Of-Time
file3.txt	Processed	10:20AM	11AM	11:10AM	Done. Missed SLA
file3.txt	delivered	11AM	11:30AM	NULL	Not Done. Missed SLA
file4.txt	delivered	11:30AM	12:30PM	12:10PM	On-Time
file4.txt	delivered	1PM	1:30PM	1:38PM	Done. Missed SLA
file4.txt	delivered	1:30PM	2:30PM	NULL	Not Done. SLA Not Yet Over

Maybe, instead of showing X for Done you could show the Actual time like this

Thank you again @jdbuchanan71.Highly appreciated. 

May be something - somewhere I'm missing. Seems the default list of Visuals - not giving enough insights. Users are requesting to not hide SLAs (Lower and Upper), somewhat like a 24 hours timeline Gnatt Chart [Lower to Upper for each file's each event] for Process flows for each file with a marker of "Actual Time when available".  May be there is no suitable visual for better representation. In such case I'd possibly have to go back to table / Matrix.

[jdbuchanan71]

Because the users are wanting to see so many data points for each file / step I think you will have to use the matrix.  Perhaps splitting the Status and Result into two fields and adding them as slicers will help the users filter the list quickly to isolate items they want to focus on.

[jdbuchanan71]

Perhaps something where you represent the status with icons and the result with color.  I also split the status and result into 2 columns.

Icon

X = Done
O = Not Done
! = Not Done AND Missed SLA

Color
Green = On Time
Blue = Ahead-Of_Time
Orange = Missed SLA

Red = Not Done AND Missed SLA

I have attached my file for you to look at.

This looks great and Thumbs Up 👍 Thanks @jdbuchanan71 

Only issue is that I still somehow need to display Actual Time for the events in the Visual. Any other workaround available for that please?
