Visualizing duration of different states on a timeline

Sandra Nieves Aug 30, 2017 6:43 AM

Hello, I am trying to visualize how long it takes between the different states of fighting wildfires. I have created a fake, tiny data set, but it doesn't look right, since the phase... first alert, dispatched, ongoing, in resolution should form one block on the timeline. What am I doing wrong

Hello ZZ,

I have analyzed your workbook... deviding the "duration in minutes" by the number of minutes per hour normalizes the duration, so that it can be mapped on a timeline in day increments? Is that correct? Thank you so much!
