Hello,

I would like to calculate the date difference in days and show the result in a bar chart. Result would look something like this.

(This is an example, not related to the data given at the beginning of this message)

 

First I add a column to calculate the day difference between the order date and stock date. Next, I have added a conditional column in the query editor. Based on the outcome of the difference between the two dates, these days are added up and put into a bar chart per category (1, 2, 3, 4.... days).

I don't know if this is the best way to calculate the percentage. If not, please tell me how to do this. 

 

I would like to calculate the sum of the green bar charts as a percentage of the total. How can I do that?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

@WLFRD , Create a new column

new column =

var _diff = datediff([enter date],[stock date],day)

return

Switch(True() ,

_diff =0, "Resolved on same day" ,

// Add other options

"Other" //default

)
