graphreporting

What is this graph called?

I'm looking for a tool to help me graph some data. I have a set of processes running on a server, and these lov their start- and end times.

I want to be able to see how long each process ran for in relation to each other. The y-axis would show the names of these processes, the x-axis the time across a couple of days, and a plot would be drawn if process X was running from time A to time B.

I've made a mock up:enter image description here

Does this type of graph have a name? Is this available in Power BI? If not, what reporting tool would you recommend?

Solution

  • This is a Gantt Chart.

    You can build a Gantt Chart with Power BI. Check the page Building a Gantt Chart using Power BI.

    You can also build it with MS Excel but this is somehow cumbersome: How to make a Gantt chart in Excel.
