Hi John, I concur with Skye. To reassert her X-axis comment slightly differently: on any given chart, each item (an Issue, in this case) can appear (as a row) and "count" (e.g. in a bar chart) only once , where what you'd like to do is have each Issue appear and count twice, based on the month it was opened and the month it was closed (...or is not closed yet). So, the simple workaround is to create two charts -- one grouped by Entry Date (month), the other by Actual Completion (month) -- and show them "stacked" one above the other on a single dashboard, so the user can correlate them (relatively) easily. The wait:what? alternative is to use a calculated parameter that watches for the Entry Date (which is of course, upon initiation) and the first (yeah, it happens) Actual Date and in each case, tag a special value (e.g. "~ISSUE_CREATED~" and "~ISSUE_CLOSED~") that will be captured as two separate NOTES behind the Issue. Since the NOTES object is 1:many to the Issue, you can then create a single NOTES report that filters for those two special tags, groups them by their independent Entry Date (i.e. "one X-axis"), and then in a list view, use Smart Reporting to highlight the _CREATED differently from the _CLOSED items since (alas) you won't be able to chart them, since Notes do not support Custom Data.
