    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:

    1. Create a calculated column:
    Duration(Hour) =

LEFT([Duration],1)

    Then change the data type to decimal number:

     

    1. Then you can create a stacked bar chart and place it like this:

     

    And I guess this can be what you want.

    You can download my test pbix file here

     

    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:

    MFelix 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?
