Plotting time series in Y axis of the excel sheet - excel

Its excel-2013. I have some data points as below.I want to be able to show the start time, finish time of a particular job for a specific date in a excel sheet. And i want to do it for ~30 days of a month. But when i plot it using simple line chart, its not detecting and plotting the exact the 'start time' in Y axis. Can you guide me here , how i can do this?
Date Start Time Finish Time Duration
1-Jan-20 1/2/2020 2:48 1/2/2020 7:12 4.4
2-Jan-20 1/3/2020 2:34 1/3/2020 8:25 5.85
3-Jan-20 1/4/2020 3:14 1/4/2020 9:04 5.84
4-Jan-20 1/5/2020 1:19 1/5/2020 5:50 4.52
5-Jan-20 1/6/2020 2:29 1/6/2020 6:39 4.16
6-Jan-20 1/7/2020 2:14 1/7/2020 8:22 6.15
I tried to use line chart but in that the Y axis i.e the start time value is converted to number automatically. And even formatting that to the time data type is not helping.Its coming something as below.

It sounds like you're describing a Gantt chart. Those are used for project management. Excel doesn't have a simple way to make Gantt charts. (MS Project is another Micro Soft application, and it does.) But I did find a link to an Excel template, and there are other templates our there as well. Just search "Excel Gantt".

Dynamically change axes of a chart in power by using a slicer?

I have a dataset in power bi in which I have two variables: time of entry and time of exit. The columns have a structure like this:
Time of entry Time of exit
09:00 18:03
09:00 18:00
09:00 18:00
09:02 15:00
09:05 15.02
The case is that I want to make a graph that shows me on the x-axis the hours of departure and on the y-axis the count that has had this particular hour. And the same with the entry time. Although it is possible to use two graphs (one with each subject) I would like the graph to change the axes dynamically using a slicer.
I have consulted some pages on youtube, and I am looking for the simplest possible way to do it, but I can't get it to work. I have tried configuring a parameter and DAX code.
You can achieve your goal by using field parameters:
How to activate it:
Go to Modeling Tab --> New Parameter --> Fields
Then
Create a simple measure:
HourCount =
COUNT(Timescale[Time of entry])
Then Create a line chart, put the created field parameter on the x_axis:

Turning column of year data into time series in Excel

I've got some publicly available data that I'd like to plot as a time series.
However, when I try to plot it, it plots two lines. It appears that Excel can't work out that the Year column is time. How do I convert it?
Year Area planted Area harvested Yield Production
1909 29,196 27,018 15.5 417,796
1910 32,878 28,152 15.3 429,875
1911 33,653 29,780 14.4 428,740
1912 35,709 28,406 14.2 402,703
This is the output
Convert your year to a date, and then convert the date to a year.
The formula is: YEAR(DATE(A2,1,1))

Advance Excel chart, scatter chart with multiple axis value with time lapse

I have 7 different measurement points on which is temperature measured for every hour (timestamp). Like these pic down.
I want graph similar like these.
Data table:
timestamp m1_temp m1_dist m2_dist m2_temp
Mar 9, 2017 12:00:00 AM 51.72 20.00 10.00 41.72
Mar 9, 2017 1:00:00 AM 48.73 20.00 10.00 38.73
Mar 9, 2017 2:00:00 AM 43.51 20.00 10.00 33.51
I get:
So problem is now:
I need to pick timestamp range (button or just calendar with time) and see animation (not real animation, it would look like that because data ranges would change for example every 2 seconds) on chart trough that time. It would be great to see chart title as timestamp.
Maybe connect points with line, it would be more visible to the viewer.
Thanks in advance
Currently, I don't think it's possible to have timelapse animation in Power BI visuals.
There is an idea related to this that you can vote on though:
Animation for ALL!
Without animation, there are a couple possible ways to attempt a similar thing. Either use a slicer for time or else show all times at once.
To do this, your data will need to be formatted a bit differently like this:

Plotting multiple time durations in Excel

I want to plot a graph in excel which has x-axis values as times(just of one day, this will be plotted everyday) and y-axis values as different applications. Suppose an application A runs jobs from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm and then from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Is there a way I can plot these time durations for each application?
I am visualizing a graph where an application has a colored bar next to it for the time period 1pm to 2pm and then it is blank until 4pm where another colored bar appears till 6pm.
Is this possible? I have the start and end times of jobs for each application. Differentiating between jobs is not important. I just need to know when the application is running and when it is idle.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
A little example:
The data is a label in ColumnA (for the y-axis) and 'readings' (here in B1:G1). The 'readings' are the length of the static intervals (in hours). 0 because the day has changed, then 13 because nothing happens until 1p.m., 1 because busy 1-2 p.m. - and so on.
If charted with Insert Stacked Bar the default will be to colour fill each range (interval) with a different colour. For the image, the colour for alternate 'series' has been set to match the background and one of the remaining set to match the other.
I admit changing the fill manually could get tedious if required daily for many apps but there is always VBA! And with a small fudge you may be able to 'recycle' (ie use the chart as a template and just overwrite "yesterday's" data.

Excel graph date and count

I have a list of date+times and a count for each, eg:
Date/Time Count
6/19/12 3:00 AM 1
6/19/12 4:00 AM 1
6/19/12 5:00 AM 79
6/19/12 6:00 AM 322
6/19/12 7:00 AM 275
6/19/12 8:00 AM 143
I would like to graph based on hour but when I select the data and graph it excel groups all the hours in the day together. I would like to see the trend as time passes. What do I need to do?
Format the axis as a Text axis - Excel wants to format it as a Date axis, which has a minimum resolution of 1 day
I did some testing and what I did was plot the graph using the data that I had then changing the format of the date column to general number which gave me my trendline and then changing the format of the horizontal access datevalues in the chart to the date format. There must be an easier way though this works for now. Using Excel 2010.
