OK, here is a method using Power Query M Code (which I just happened to develop earlier for a similar problem).
Home =>Trnasform data=>Advanced Editor and paste the code into the window that opens (deleting whatever might be there)
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUTLUN9I3MjAyAjONYUy/1HKFyPyibKVYHZgyU5hcXmlODroSkDjQHLhRQIY5jB2Sn52ZD1dljKTKBImNqgooA7fPXB9dUSwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [IncidentID = _t, #"Lost work start" = _t, #"lost work end" = _t, Location = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"IncidentID", Int64.Type}, {"Lost work start", type date}, {"lost work end", type date}, {"Location", type text}}), //Create all months list #"Last Day" = Date.From(DateTime.FixedLocalNow()), #"all Dates" = List.Dates( List.Min(#"Changed Type"[Lost work start]), Duration.Days(#"Last Day"-List.Min(#"Changed Type"[Lost work start])) + 1, #duration(1,0,0,0)), #"all MnthYr" = List.Distinct(List.Transform(#"all Dates", each Date.ToText(_,"yyyy-MM"))), //List of Dates for each row #"Days per Month" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Dates List", each let LWD = List.Dates( [Lost work start], Duration.Days(List.Min({[lost work end], #"Last Day"}) - [Lost work start]) + 1, #duration(1,0,0,0)), MnthYr = List.Transform(LWD, each Date.ToText(_,"yyyy-MM")), //Group by MnthYr and count Group = Table.Group(Table.FromColumns({MnthYr} & {LWD}),{"Column1"},{ {"Days in Month", each Table.RowCount(_), Int64.Type}}), Pivot = Table.Pivot(Group,List.Sort(Group[Column1]),"Column1","Days in Month") in Pivot), #"Expanded Dates List" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Days per Month", "Dates List", #"all MnthYr"), #"Sort Month/Year Columns" = let colsToSort = List.RemoveFirstN(Table.ColumnNames(#"Expanded Dates List"),4), #"Sorted Order" = List.Sort(colsToSort), #"Reorder Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Expanded Dates List",#"Sorted Order") in #"Reorder Columns", #"Month To Name" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Sort Month/Year Columns", List.Transform(List.RemoveFirstN(Table.ColumnNames(#"Sort Month/Year Columns"),4), each{_, Date.ToText(Date.From(_),"MMM-yy")})), #"Grouped Rows1" = Table.Group(#"Month To Name", {"Location"}, { //Sum each month {"Sum Each Month", (t)=> Record.FromList( List.Accumulate(List.RemoveFirstN(Table.ColumnNames(t),4),{}, (a,b)=> a & {List.Sum(Table.Column(t,b))}), List.RemoveFirstN(Table.ColumnNames(t),4)) }}), #"Expanded Sum Each Month" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Grouped Rows1", "Sum Each Month", List.RemoveFirstN(Table.ColumnNames(#"Month To Name"),4)), #"Typed" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Sum Each Month", List.Transform(List.RemoveFirstN(Table.ColumnNames(#"Expanded Sum Each Month")), each {_, Int64.Type})) in #"Typed"Results:

3 years agoronrsnfld It worked out great. Only problem I had was trying to put them in a line graph for every location for last 12 months. I tried to unpivot columns for each month per location. That has worked for the location which have data since it grouping by location. Some months there is no data and it is skipping. I wanted to show "0" when there is no number for the respecive location for last 12 months. Is it something that can be done by adding a custom column? Any ideas?
