Post ProdigyStacked Bar Chart as timeline
Hello everyone!
I have a table that contains the durations with the corresponding DateTimes:
| Start | End | Duration | Type |
| 01.01.2021 00:00:00 | 01.01.2021 05:00:00 | 05:00:00 | 1 |
Now I would like to use a stacked bar chart with the hours on the x-axes. Then I would like to sum up the individual types to see the performance like in a timeline chart.
Is this possible in PBI?
To use a stacked bar chart with an hours axe as a timeline?
Hi, joshua1990
According to your description, you want to create a stacked bar chart with the hours on the x-axis and sum up the individual types to see the performance like in a timeline chart, I think you can transform the data type of [Duration] first to put it into the chart first. You can try my steps:
This is my test data based on your sample data:
- Create a calculated column:
Duration(Hour) = LEFT([Duration],1)Then change the data type to decimal number:
- Then you can create a stacked bar chart and place it like this:
And I guess this can be what you want.

If this result is not what you want, you can post some sample data(without sensitive data) and your expected result.

Hi joshua1990 ,
Not sure if the duration is all the same but in order to used it has a x-axis values if you create a new column with the following setup you can have a text column that can be use to see the data:
String Duration in Hours and Minutes = var vMinues='Table'[Duration] * 24 var vHours=int( vMinues ) var vRemainingMinutes=MOD(vMinues; 60) return vHours&" H"& vRemainingMinutes & " M"Assuming your column is in duration:
joshua1990MFelix Thank you! But what I want to see is the evolution of the individual types. More like:
02:00:00 = 2 h (Type 1)
04:00:00 = 2 h (Type 2)
08:00:00 = 4 h (Type 1)
16:00:00 = 8 h (Type 2)
I want to use the stacked bar chart as a timeline

Hi joshua1990 ,
Just to be clear about the data, are all your values within the values you show so 2, 4, 8, 16 hours or are you groupingf them so everything from 0 to 2 is on 2 hours , from 2 to 4 hours is on the 4 hours?
Also how is the sum for each type is the total values for that specific value?
Example if you have 3 lines wih 1H each you consider 3 hours on the 2H bar?
