Hi stuartharvey,

 

How does the table imported in Power BI desktop look like? Can you share some sample data about Project Name, Start Date, Finish, Date and % Complete?

 

You can follow this blog to create a Gantt chart: Visual Awesomeness Unlocked – Gantt chart. By the way, please try to run the latest desktop version 2.48.4792.481 64-bit (July 2017) to create the report.

 

Best Regards,
QiuyunYu

    Hi v-qiuyu-msft

     

    Thanks for the reply, I have'nt imported a table I jhave just linked it to the MS Project site, where the data is held in various project plans, out put is seen in the screen shot.

     

    I did this in the BI online version as I was unable to connect MS Project using the desktiop version.

     

    I downloaded the visual based on the article you mentioned and followed that and a few different articles guidance, as mentioned I have it all working ok its just this duration conversion that seems to be an issue, I cant understand why it would take the stated duration and multiply by 8???
