Hi  Anonymous ,

In the Gantt chart, do you want to show the difference timestamp between two dates?

You can create calculated column

Time =
VAR DIFF ='Table'[date1] - 'Table'[date]
VAR NumOfMinutes = DIFF * 24
    * 60
VAR DAYS =
    IF ( DIFF >= 1, INT ( DIFF ), BLANK () )
VAR HOURS =
    INT ( ( DIFF - DAYS ) * 24 )
VAR MINUTES = NumOfMinutes
    - ( DAYS * 24
    * 60 )
    - ( HOURS * 60 )
VAR DaysText =
    IF ( DAYS > 1, FORMAT ( DAYS, "00" ) & "days" )
VAR HoursText =
    FORMAT ( HOURS, "00" ) & "hrs"
VAR MinutesText =
    FORMAT ( MINUTES, "00" ) & "mins"
RETURN
    IF (
        NOT ( ISBLANK ( 'Table'[date1] ) ),
        COMBINEVALUES ( " ", DaysText, HoursText, MinutesText )
    )

Put into the Gantt chart visual effect, you can display days, hours, minutes and seconds

Hi Liu,

That's not really what I was looking for.

 

My problem with the Gantt Chart from MAQ Software is that the x-Axis doesn't scale in the way I want. From what I've tested, the most scaled down date hierachy is in days, however I need it to be scaled down to seconds.

 

Here's a screenshot of the data I'm using, most of it is written in german, but the column names describe it pretty well.

 

Best regards,

Stephan
