Two different Month Columns visualization help

I am analyzing sales proposals vs a target. I have two date columns. One that shows the anticipated contract month, the other is the expected budget month. I am trying to chart the difference between the two with the contract value amount and the project name. I have been attempting to do scatter plots and bar charts and can not figure out how to visually show this relationship. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @BIuser0424 

You can create a date table

e.g 

Date =

ADDCOLUMNS (

CALENDAR (DATE (2020, 1, 1), DATE (2022, 12, 31)),

"Year", YEAR([Date]),

"MonthNumber", MONTH([Date]),

"Quarter", QUARTER([Date]),

"DayOfWeek", WEEKDAY([Date])

)

Then create relationship between the date table and data table 

e.g one-many:[Date]->[ anticipated contract month]   one-many:[Date]->[expected budget month] 

If one of these two relationships is inactive, the USERELATIONSHIP() function can be used

e.g 

CALCULATE(....,USERELATIONSHIP([expected budget month],[Date]))

You can refer to the folloiwng link about the relationship and USERELATIONSHIP() function 

USERELATIONSHIP function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn
