HI,

I have created the below datatable dashboard.Further i need a timeline in it and i want to achieve that in a vertical or Horizontal Bar type graph , with timeline at one axis and up or down status on other axis for spans

| Span 1 | Span 2 | Span 3 | Span 4 | Span 5 | Span 6 | Span 7 | Span 8 | Span 9 | Span 10 | Span 11 | Span 12 | Span 13 | Span 14 | Span 15 | Span 16 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Up | Up | Down | Down | Down | Down | Up | Up | Down | Down | Up | Up | Up | Up | Up | Up |

Have you tried creating a heat map chart? That will allow you to display time on one axis and another field on the other axis
