Need help to create 2 line chart in Power BI

[Shalini1816]

Hello Experts,

I need to create Burn Chart, which has 2 lines in a Line chart.  Sample data as below, I need to create 2 lines, one with open time and running count, other with completion date and complete count. With single line , it works as expected, but i need to see both the data/lines in single chart.

Open Time	Running Count	Completion Date	Complete Count
7/24/13 10:23	1	6/20/14 7:00	1
7/24/13 10:23	2	11/3/14 8:00	2
7/24/13 10:23	3	1/6/15 0:00	3
7/24/14 10:23	4	1/11/15 0:00	4
7/24/14 10:23	5	1/11/16 0:00	5
9/26/15 11:00	6	1/19/16 0:00	6
9/26/15 11:00	7	1/19/17 0:00	7
9/26/16 11:00	8	1/20/17 0:00	8
9/26/16 11:00	9
9/26/16 11:00	10
9/26/17 11:00	11

Hi @Shalini1816!

Both lines are cummulative, right?

[Shalini1816]

Yes.  @guiggs .   

[guiggs]

You are using the MAX of the two variables, so you are getting the wrong values.

You need to create a measure that get the cummulative vallues for the graphic

[Shalini1816]

its not cumulatve. I mean the incremental count is used. i.e., Running count. (1 to total rows) and completed count (1 to completed items count). the first graph is done in EXCel, which uses open time and running count data for 1st line and complete date and complete count for second line.  But in power BI we dont have option to select individual data for each line. Is It possible to achieve through any measures or formulas.

In second chart, you can see the sky blue line is correct, beacuse i am using open time in axis. If I use close time in axis, then the sky blue is showing wrong and dark blue will show correct. not sure how to reslove this.

Reading what you said, I presume that you just have the table that you present in your model.

You didn't have a date table (like a dimension)?

[Shalini1816]

Yes, Exactly. @guiggs  But still i tried to create a new Table with date colum and tried with userelationship, but it didnt work.

You are on a good way to solve your problem! 

You need to create three tables:

• Date Table - this table just has dates, you can create it directly in Power BI;
• "Running Count" Table - this table has 2 columns: Open Time and Running Count;
• "Complete Count" Table - this table has also 2 columns: Completion Time and Complete Count.

After that, you connect "Running Count" Table and "Complete Count" Table to the Date Table using relationships and use the date field from the Date Table to your X-axis.

Any doubt let me know!

Thank You so much @guiggs  It Works Perfectly.
