Show % Done Tasks in Dashboard
Asked by Ana Ortiz:

Hello! I am configuring a Board of my project to have more control of the status of Epics/Issues, but there is an element that I can't show correctly and that is the percentage of Done issues that are inside an epic. With the column "Progress" the only thing that is shown is what is registered in "Time registered", but nothing related to the percentage of Done issues of the Child issues of an Epic. I have tried with almost all the columns and nothing: neither Status, nor Work Ratio... nothing manages to show this percentage of the attached screenshot. The progress of this epic should be 30% (which is what I see when I enter the Epic page next to Child issues) and not 100% as shown on the Board. I'd need to be able to access from the Dashboard to the information about % of Done issues of an Epic. ![progressDv2.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/337803iB20B29FB7DF77058/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "progressDv2.png")![epicdone.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/337804i7169AFC39442973A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "epicdone.png")Can anyone help me? Thanks

welcome to the community!

To the best of my knowledge, the epic progress isn't available as a column anywhere in Jira, including the filter gadget.

The only native solution that I can think of is

* to use a [Jira Automation](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/features/automation) rule to calculate the epic progress,
* write it into a custom field (e.g. of type number of single-line text), and
* add the custom field to your issue view.

I haven't done this myself and can't comment on the details, but perhaps someone else can lean in.

Alternatively, if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you'll have more options. I'll add more information below.

Hope this helps,

Best,

Hannes

body: ... and to expand on my last point: If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on, [JXL for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1224710?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=2765185).

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you'd do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a range of advanced features, including support for (configurable) *issue hierarchies* , *issue grouping* by any issue field(s), *sum-ups* , or *conditional formatting*.

With these, you can model a view like e.g. this in just a couple of clicks:

![epic-progress-percentage.gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/337807iF146DCEA3950DE7D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "epic-progress-percentage.gif")

This is really just one of a virtually endless number of possible views and reports - you can also view, group by, and sum up any other issue field(s), configure different sum-up styles, etc. etc.

Any questions just let me know!

Try the **Pivot Table \& Pivot Chart** gadget offered by our [Great Gadgets](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=stonikbyte%20great%20gadgets%20agile) app. This can be done with a few clicks.

Epics completion by number of tasks can be easily displayed, like this:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/337966iECAA0CAADDA1D9E6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

This can be achieved by configuring the gadget like this:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/337964i566CAF1FE5D06FF3/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

As Data Source you should use a filter of JQL that returns the issues under the epic (not the epics themselves). For example: *type in standardIssueTypes()*

This app offers a **1-month free trial**. If you need any help, please contact StonikByte support. Hope this helps.

Danut.

Welcome to the community !!

If you would be interested in an app to help with % progress, you may want to try our plugin.

[Issue Hierarchy](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1228019/issue-hierarchy-structure?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)

The app shows your Epic and its children hierarchy in a tree view. The app can help you easily Sum up values (time tracking/story point/custom numeric fields) to see overall progress for your Issues at each parent level, in percentage terms wrt time tracking and story points.

Also there are some special columns, like %complete which shows data based on the completion status of child issues at each parent level.

You can easily add it as a dashboard gadget too. Do try it out.

(Disclaimer: I work on RVS, the vendor for this app)![Epic Hierarchy - %completed.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/337846i90E6531561DC53F7/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Epic Hierarchy - %completed.PNG")
