create Jobs Duration Time Series Graph

Hi!
I have dataset that looks like this:

 

Job NameStartEndDuration (days)
JOB2412.07.2018 03:00:5312.07.2018 03:30:530,020833333
JOB2312.07.2018 02:37:3612.07.2018 02:38:090,000381944
JOB2212.07.2018 02:37:3612.07.2018 02:38:040,000324074
JOB2112.07.2018 02:37:1312.07.2018 02:37:141,15741E-05

..........

Start and End have DateTime type. Duration is simply End minus Start. 
Some Jobs overlap in time.

I am trying to visualize Jobs Flow using Stacked Bar Chart. Ideally (reproduced in Excel) it should look like this:

Please help to create similar Graph in Power BI Desktop.

 

In Excel I set 'Start' and 'Duration' to Legend and then 'No fill' Start. In Power BI Desktop only one variable possible to add to the Legend.

Hi k0ater,

 

Add this custom visual to your report: 

Captura.PNG

 

You just have to put the start date and the end date.

The visual is very powerful, so I let the configuration of the visual to you. 

But you should be able to see somenthing like this: 

Captura1.PNG

or this:

Captura2.PNG

If my answer is what you where looking for, please mark it as accepted. Like this, others can benefit from my answer too.

 

Regards
