Requirement to create a line graph with Milestones on the Graph based on the Project

Hello, 

 

I am working with Project Data.  We have about 1,000 Projects. 

 

The users would like a line graph where on the X-Axis we display the Milestones.  The Milestones are different for each project. 

 

Is there an example on how to do this?  This is an example with test data. 

 

Thank You,

 

Michael

Hi @mikebi 

 

Could you please create the axis label and sorting:


In Data view, select the Milestones table and add this calculated column:

Axis = FORMAT('Milestones'[MilestoneSeq], "00") & " – " & 'Milestones'[MilestoneName]

Still in Data view: select the Axis column >> Column tools >> Sort by column >> choose MilestoneSeq.

(This keeps milestone names in the right order per project.)

 

Build the visual

  • Insert a Line chart.
  • X-axis >> drop Axis (the text we built).
  • Y-axis >> drop Amount (or your metric).
  • Add a ProjectName slicer to pick one project at a time (recommended for clarity).
  • If you must compare several projects, put ProjectName in Small multiples works well up to a dozen projects.
  • Add MilestoneDate and Amount to the Tooltips well so hovering shows exact date and value.
