How can we make Planner better?

Don't show completed tasks in Charts

Why in the bar graph of member don't show completed tasks? If in the circular graph(chart) show all tasks, including completed tasks, why it wasn't done for the bar graph?

My boss would be happy if it could be done!

    Hey all,

    Dumbfounded at Microsoft's inability to even know their own products. After hours with their support I figured this out myself. Go to the charts on your planner APP on your phone, there is a menu option to show completed tasks. Go back to your desktop/browser version and the charts show completed items just fine.

    Indiviudal users can do it, but if the owner does it it shows for everyone. Your welcome.

    Don't show completed. Or provide a feature to hide the completed ones. After a month/year or so, the completed tasks take over the whole graph and all is green... Focus on those that are open and not the closed ones. It's OK to show them in a report (tasks in month/year), completed in the last x months and open ones, but my chart is only green, not much info looking at it on what's on hand.

    Big miss to not include "completed" tasks within the chart section (Specifically the bar graphs). The chart within the bar graphs captures every other description "Not Started, In-Progress and Late" but not Completed. I have to export the data into excel to summarize "completed" tasks. Our team uses planner for organization goals and it's an unfortunate miss in the system completed tasks do not show in the charts / bar graphs, need this fixed, thanks!

    I use Planner for tracking my team's performance for statiscal purposes and I missing the "Competed" option in Charts just makes it almost useless. Please add this feature.

    For the love of God can you fix it... there is no point seing how many tasks I still have to do... it is demoralising... seeing how many you've completed can really put a smile on your face and demonstrate to stakeholders that you are making progress!

    Completed tasks do appear on the iPad version of Planner (option on the top right). But it doesn't appear on Web version or Microsoft Teams. :(

    I agree, for it to be a true executive dashboard view, the status of both completed and pending tasks should be available within the charts view. Thanks.

    For me, the requirement would be a checkbox on each charts page to Show / Hide completed tasks. Sometimes you want to see them to highlight how much has been achieved, other times you need to hide them so that the outstanding work doesn't get swamped by the volume of completed (if it's a Planner used over the long term).

    This would be very helpfull.
    Short hint:
    If in the bucket are just completed tasks, they are shown in the bar chart as a green bar. When you ad another task, which is rated as "incomplete" or "late" the green bar vanishes.

    It would be great, if you could fix that.

    If implemented then it needs to have a toggle for on/off of showing completed tasks in both the donut chart and the bar chart.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Agreed - a setting is needed to enable an easy view of tasks of all statuses. The option to include completed items or not could surely be toggled easily. This would help with a quick view of how many tasks within a plan have been completed - it's nice to see light at the end of the tunnel.

    A toggle to include or exclude completed items in charts would suffice. Not everyone uses Planner for timeboxed projects. Some use for ongoing operational task tracking.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    It would also be helpful if you could hover over the part of the bar chart and it gives you the name of the task

  • Xavier PIEDNOIR commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I support this idea. The various views on the dashboard provide numbers that do not really add up otherwise.

  • Rob Martin (Microsoft) commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    The circular graph would be better if the completed items are excluded. The issue is, as more items get completed over time the graph seems to show things are looking pretty good when actually there may be a build up of incomplete and late activities.
