stacked bars using expiration date

Hello, I am trying to build a graph using expiration dates. If I try and use a heat map using pivot table or even a simple table you can’t use expiration dates correctly on the metric. It does not allow you to change the metric to date. Only numbers which doesn’t work . Same with stacked bars, you can get the date correctly inserted on the y axis and the location on the x axis cuz the x axis is number only not letters. Anyone have any ways to tell me how to create a heatmap showing expiration dates? I need to show when a property is expiring within 18 months and then within24 months and so on and it’s impossible on looker studio. I’ve watched all the youtube videos and nothing shows expiration data.

Hi @DataAnalystReal

I have just tried your scenario using expiration_date as a column and product_id as a row, the count being the indicator for a heatmap using pivot table with heatmap and it works.

What errors are you running into and how does your data look like?

Thanks
