Visualize state changes

Hello.

 

I'd like to visualize changes in a state (as in status). I have items that can move between states. To Do > In progress > Done for example. and i'd like to visualize this flow. 

 

The data looks something like this:

IDDateStateState changedState Flow
14/17/2019 12:00:00 AMTo doFALSETo do to To do
14/18/2019 12:00:00 AMTo doFALSETo do to To do
14/19/2019 12:00:00 AMTo doFALSETo do to To do
14/20/2019 12:00:00 AMIn progressTRUETo do to In progress
14/21/2019 12:00:00 AMIn progressFALSEIn progress to In progress
14/22/2019 12:00:00 AMdoneTRUEIn progress to done
14/23/2019 12:00:00 AMdoneFALSEdone to done
14/24/2019 12:00:00 AMdoneFALSEdone to done
14/25/2019 12:00:00 AMdoneFALSEdone to done

Note that State flow i a calculated column and the "to" can be changed. it can also be split to 2 columns if needed. 

My desired result would look something like this:

If somebody knows a visual wich is capeable of something like this i'd like to know. Any other ideas to visualize this info is also welcome. Thanks in advance.

Hi @Anonymous ,

I check custom visual but haven't found any custom visual suitable for your requirement. Maybe you can try to use python visual or r visual to manually draw these graph.

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can use following calculate column formula to achieve your requirement:

Status =
VAR _fDate =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( Table2[Date] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( Table2 ), [ID] = EARLIER ( Table2[ID] ) )
    )
VAR _diff =
    DATEDIFF ( _fDate, Table2[Date], DAY )
RETURN
    IF ( _diff < 3, "To do", IF ( _diff >= 3 && _diff < 5, "In progress", "Done" ) )

Status Changed = 
VAR _preview =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( Table2[Date] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( Table2 ),
            [ID] = EARLIER ( Table2[ID] )
                && [Date] < EARLIER ( Table2[Date] )
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        _preview <> BLANK (),
        [Status]
            <> LOOKUPVALUE ( Table2[Status], Table2[ID], [ID], Table2[Date], _preview )
    )

Status Flow = 
VAR _preview =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( Table2[Date] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( Table2 ),
            [ID] = EARLIER ( Table2[ID] )
                && [Date] < EARLIER ( Table2[Date] )
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        _preview <> BLANK (),
        LOOKUPVALUE ( Table2[Status], Table2[ID], [ID], Table2[Date], _preview ) & " to " & [Status],
        [Status] & " to " & [Status]
    )
