I have done quite a few Gantt Charts in Tableau, but this one is stumping me.
I am trying to create a project type Gantt chart that displays the project level due date at the top of each grouping. This should show the due date from the case and the duration so far. That works fine until I attempt the next part which is to allow the consumer to click on that bar and have the tasks roll down with each of their project and in many cases actual durations. (scheduled start and finish if not completed and actual start and finish if it is)
The problem is that Tableau wants to make the Project an aggregate of the tasks' durations. I need to show what we specced the project out to, then the actual task break down so we can see where we are misjudging our estimates. Also would like a dropline for today that goes to x axis and one for when project is due that goes to the pane axis for the project. Yes of course there are multiple projects being plotted across the departments as well. Has anyone ever done something like this in Tableau? Any idea how I can get this to stop summing the tasks and use the project projected duration?
Thanks in advance,

I've been trying to do this for a while but can't find a solution. At work there is a special task that needs to be done daily by different people, on rotating shifts. I am trying to create a simple file in sheets in which you can go and clearly see who should be doing that tasks that day.
The data comes from a schedule that is located within the same file. Every day different people are supposed to do these tasks
So what I am trying to do is basically a formula (s) that will recognize what day is today and present it so everyone knows who is supposed to do those tasks today. This should update itself everyday, taking the data from the database. So if today is Friday 20/08/2022 it will show whatever is on the database for that date. If today is Saturday 21/08/2022 it will update and reflect what the schedule/database has.
Sounds pretty easy but I dont know where to start.
Thanks for your help!

I have created a Main Userform that incorporates, multipage many fields and buttons and those link to various other userforms and worksheets and fields. I have reached a point where when I try to F5 I get an "Compile Error - Out of Memory"
I'm newer to troubleshooting these kinds of issues and granted I did not have a plan when I started in terms of structuring the forms and modules or what this would grow into.
This specific issue came having a Page that has a scroll feature that looks at a worksheet and pulls in records into various comboboxes based on a status of Open, closed, Hold etc. Each record is retrieving approx 7-8 fields and each page has approx 50 records that could display except closed which has to have enough for all.
I have read a couple things about ending Object to = nothing and enabling some advanced Windows to allow more memory allocation. I feel like maybe its a combination of structure and not clearing memory when i move around the tool. Any advise help or resources you could point me towards?
Attached is the Error, VBA project tree and a screen shot of one of the multipage items being pulled into the userform from the worksheet. (there will be multiple pages beside "open" that could have up to 100 or more records.
Thanks again,
Attached are Project Structure, error message, and userform-multipage screenshot example
Update: I was able to move past this, My issue was that I had a very bulky form that called a lot of textboxes and combo boxes upon initialization. This obviously required a lot of memory to render all this fields at once. Hence the error.
Solution: I re-thought the form and decided to use a list box and upon selecting a record from the list the fields I needed populate in the box below the list. This allowed me to go from hundreds of boxes to 12. This also was coupled that I had multi- page within a page. Sometimes you just need to take a step back and rethink and restructure your plan.
My team is using TFS2017 and we have some 100+ past iterations (sprints) in our backlog/board. (I'm talking about Past, Current & Future iterations). We're only interested in 5-6 most recent Past iterations and scrolling to the end of the list is generally annoying.
Is there any way to change the sort order of the past iterations to descending?
If this isn't possible, is it possible to create a new group/item/list/whatever besides Past, Current and Future, called Old iterations (or something like that)?
Thanx in advance.
To reduce the number of iterations on the "Past" section you can configure in the team settings to see only the iterations of the current year.
Press on the Gear icon when you on your team page --> Work --> Press on "Change" near the "Backlog iteration".
After that, you will see only the iteration from the current year and the scrolling not will be so annoying...
Is there a nice way in TFS to see all the Stories/Tasks I have worked on and what day I committed/closed them out and maybe did associated check-ins for them. I want this because I work on many different client projects and need to track my time in a time sheet and sometimes forget what I did each day if I don't fill my timesheet out daily.
There is no out of box feature for this. A similar feature request on VSTS User Voice can be found here: User Activity Stream.
As an alternative solution, there is an TFS Timetracker extension in VSTS Marketplace which you can try to use. This extension will allow you to record the time you spend on every work item and generate a report.
I believe TFS is unlikely to enable this capability in the nearest future.
You can try out time sheet extensions to TFS.
For example, TX Chrono (https://www.teamexpand.com/product/tfs-timesheet) allows to log hours directly from a Work Item tab in TFS and get a work time day-by-day breakdown over the selected period (So you can make a report where you'll see hours spent on a particular WI, how many hours were spent each day, WI current state, etc.)
I have been using TFS to track my backlog items and I am now trying to write a query to see how long I took on particular tasks in the last 7 days. So Far I have this query:
Work Item Type = Task
AND State = Done
AND Closed Date = #Today - 7
AND Area Path = #Project
AND Assigned To = #Me
and have added the column "Closed Date" which shows the time work stopped on this item. But I cannot get any information as to when work started on the Task
Feels like the data should be there as on particular tasks it has the following kind of information:
Is this possible? I don't mind extracting the data to Excel to analyse.
The reason I ask is because I would then like to go on to compare the amount of hours assigned to a particular task and compare it to amount of hours actually taken to help my predictions of time taken in future.
It's a pretty simple query actually.
Here's what I'm using.
(Work Item Type = User Story
OR Work Item Type = Bug
)
AND State <> New
AND State <> Removed
Simply include the Activated Date, the Resolved Date, and the Closed Date in the displayed columns. The time between Activated and Closed is your total cycle time.
My team uses Resolved as a "pending deployment" status, so comparing Resolved to Closed allows us to determine how long it takes to get an item from "done" to "in prod".
TFS is not intended to be a time tracking tool. You could query the work item history with the TFS API and check the timestamps on when the state transitions occurred if you really wanted to.
Agile projects don't focus on how long individual tasks take -- they focus on how much value the development team is providing over the course of a set period of time. One thing might be estimated low, one task might be estimated high, but it ultimately doesn't matter as long as the team delivers what they committed to deliver.
It's a good practice to track Cycle Time for a team to discover areas for improvements (for User Story level, yes)
It's not good that user must go Excel to calculate Cycle Time. I can't use diagram Azure Devops tools with this calculations and its not automated.
Cycle Time widget don't shows results for several teams and it's not flexible tool, so it's not enough
