Milestone Trend Analysis
Asked by Stephan Schmitz:

Hello All-together,

as a project manager I would like to generate a chat representing the milestone prediction to a certain date. As a figure is more worth than a word....I am looking for something similar like this.

How must my table look like and how to set up the tool "chart from table" to retrieve a similar figure?

I am very much looking forward for some hints and ideas!

Thank you

Stephan

I can suggest the following workaround using the Line chart:

??re you use full months' names as X-axis values and set numeric values from 1 to 12 that correspond to the months' numbers for Y-values.  

Also you may check our [Gantt chart](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/gantt-chart-type-42239634.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) that is rather advanced and may be more suitable for the project tracking.

thank you very much for the time spent on my problem, I really do appreciate it. Your tip helped me to get further. It dawned to me that I must somehow modify my requirements and came up with the following.

I changed the months into a date (x-axis) and the project timing I started to count in months (y-axis). Now I can see how different milestones are progressing over time.

However I am not able to modify the x-axis into month year scaling, it stays with date month year...but I can live with that.

thanks for your help

Stephan

body: You can change the date format in the Reporting column of your source table to have it in the x-axis of the chart then. It's possible to do with the help of [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-transformer-macro-42241552.html).  
Please see the example below:
