Use case: Activity Types by Month

Try creating a chart on activities where Series = Activity and Secondary Column = DueDateStart and try to group by month, year, etc

Hi There Mahlon,

Not sure If I was just misunderstanding the Dialog here - But after going back and testing myself, It looks like we've already added the 'Compare As' For DateTime fields on Chart objects.

That being said - I think your initial question was more along the lines of "How do I display DateTime as JUST Date, without the TIME element" - This woulds till take a workaround to implement properly.

Thanks Mahlon.

Regards,

Ben

Hi Mahlon,

The ticket I created for this is a feature request, as it’s a new feature that would need to be added to the charts functionality. I can’t provide an ETA, but I don’t think that this will be implemented in the near future. I recommend looking into a work-around for the time being.

Any updates on this?

it would be nice to have an ETA so I can determine whether we need to look at a workaround.

Hi Mahlon,

It looks like we’re missing the “compare as” option when grouping chart data by DateTime fields. Due to this, it’s basically impossible to group your data using a DateTime field. I created a feature request ticket so that our development team can investigate the possibility of adding this functionality.

I hope this helps.

Is it possible to create a chart with columns grouped by date?

Example new leads this week grouped by date.

I can groupd by type, etc but the date field value also includes time.
