Matrix view: date in x-axis possible?

[Carlo Lammers]

Hi fellow community,

I would like to create a graph/matrix showing the evolution of the expected workload (= number in the list view) of all the ideas as a function of time/date (=start date & target date in the list view).

Any workarounds or suggestions to make this possible?

Thanks!

Thanks for your question - that's a cool usecase! 

Matrix view doesn't support date fields, so you won’t be able to create exactly that graph natively.

If your “expected workload” is stored in a numeric field, then you could create a timeline view which groups by the field that represents workload. This won’t give you a numeric curve, but it does show how high‑effort ideas are distributed over time. 

This is the simplest in‑product option if you mainly need a visual sense of when heavy vs light work is happening.

Hope this helps! Best,

Jet
