Power BI - How to show two times/dates on x-axis on clustered column visual.

Hi, I have a data as below

IDOpened DateClosed Date
ABC1231/04/20257/04/2025
PQR12324/03/20257/04/2025
XYZ12331/03/20257/04/2025

 

How can I show the ID in clustered column where one column represent "Opened date" and other as "Closed Date"

I need a visual like below - Blue column - Opened Date and Green column - closed date

Y-axis has ID

Hi @AshishTabade,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. Thank you @lbendlin, for your inputs on this issue.

After thoroughly reviewing the details you provided, I was able to reproduce the scenario, and it worked on my end. I have used it as sample data on my end and successfully implemented it.

I took sample data my end below mentioned:

Then, unpivot the Date Columns. Select the Opened Date and Closed Date columns (hold CTRL to multi-select). Right-click and choose Unpivot Columns. Table looks like this below:

Rename “Attribute” to Date Type, and “Value” to something like Event Date if needed.

Go back to Power BI Report view. Add a Clustered Column Chart. Set up the chart like this: X-Axis: Event Date (or a month/year hierarchy if desired) Legend: Date Type (this will split Opened vs Closed into two colors/bars) Values: Use ID.

Output looks like below:
