    Hi liamcameron ,

    If you're looking to calculate the ratio of finished dates to due dates for a given time period, here is an approach you can try:

    Scenario 1: If you want to find the ratio of IDs that are finished in the same month as their due date (e.g., in September, you had 40 records with a due date in September, but only finished 20 in September):

     

     
    (count([Id]), [Months in FinishedDate], [Months in DueDate]) / (count([Id]), [Months in DueDate])

    In this formula:

    • [Months in FinishedDate] = September
    • [Months in DueDate] = September

    Scenario 2: If you want to find the ratio of IDs that are finished any time after their due date (e.g., in September, you had 40 records with a due date in September, but only finished 20 anytime after the due date):

    (count([Id]), [Months in FinishedDate], [Months in DueDate]) / (count([Id]), [Months in DueDate])

    In this formula:

    • [Months in FinishedDate] != N/A
    • [Months in DueDate] = September

    Make sure that your conditions for [Months in FinishedDate] and [Months in DueDate] are correctly set according to your requirement. This will help you calculate the accurate ratio of finished tasks to due tasks.

     

    If you are trying to create a column chart, use 'months in due_date' as Category and use formula without due_date field.
