Hi everyone,

I am working on a simple data set, like that:

When I put them in a bar chart, it will show like:

My setting is:

However, what I want is like this:

The issue is the date data was counted, but I cannot figure out how to discount it.

I will very much appreciate you if anyone can tell me how to do it. Thanks!

I would look through appSource visuals to see if something there meets your needs. Alternatively, you can trick an array into doing this by making a date table (unrelated to the data), a measure that compares the date with the completed/expected dates, and the conditional formatting in the background and font. See the following example, using the week column of a date table (you could use date, month, and so on) to get the result. It also uses the Show in Rows function of the array visual.

The measures used above are (replace BarChart with the actual name of the table)

Esperado. • var mindate - MIN('Date'[Date])

return if(mindate<-MIN(BarChart[Expected]),1)

Completado. • var mindate - MIN('Date'[Date])

return if(mindate<-MIN(BarChart[Completed]),1)

If this works for you, mark it as the solution. Praise is also appreciated. Please let me know if you don't.

Best regards

Pat
