Timeline Visual to Show Usage During the Day
- 8 years ago
It seems that the "as Timeline" custom visual gets close to what you want.
I created a dummy pbix with your sample data here
I can't say I'm completely happy with the formatting options though - I had to create a dummy column to colour the bars by room.
There are a couple of Gantt custom visuals available as well that you could play around with (Gantt and Gantt Chart By MAQ Software).

I found the timeline issue and it is fixed. Is there any way to get labels in the bar colors?
Thanks for sharing about this great custom visual. I have a similar problem to solve but I wasn't sure if this visual could achieve the following requirement -
I would like to show by "continuous" timeline on x-axis of a KPI metric, which has StartTime + EndTime attributes in the dataset. The tricky part is how to allocate the count across the timeline. Each record below is 1 count.
ie
StartTime EndTime

2018-01-01 13:24:51 2018-01-01 17:05:31
2018-01-01 15:17:51 2018-01-01 18:42:31
2018-01-01 07:15:51 2018-01-01 11:58:31
Final Result - a timeline chart that shows at any given time, the count. For example, at 10 am sharp, the count should be 3 (1st, 2nd, and 5th records above).
I'm not sure which visualization provides the best approach for this?
Can any of you help point me in the right direction?
Thank you!

The visual I used would not work for this but I did something similiar for another project and just used a bar graph. I rounded the times to the nearest 15 minute increment.
I had to create a table with all of the time values it could be, then created a summary table of other data.

Do you mind sharing your solution how to round when there's a StartTime & EndTime?

I'm wondering if there are other visuals that could in-take StartTime & EndTime and provides a count?
