I want to display the duration of my projects in a chart using the dates (quarters). I tried using the date data but the chart does not display the way I want. I was able to display the data using the actual duration data but that doesn't map to the quarters. Can you please let me know how I need to setup the data to have the dates as the hortizonal axis?

How do I display duration data in a Stacked Bar Chart using dates?

I want to display the duration of my projects in a chart using the dates (quarters). I tried using the date data but the chart does not display the way I want. I was able to display the data using the actual duration data but that doesn't map to the quarters.

Can you please let me know how I need to setup the data to have the dates as the hortizonal axis?

Thanks in advance!

This is the data the chart is based on.
