We use a Custom field named “Est. Hours” to assess the work time needed for each time. We want to see the total “Est. Hours” per day for each project. When I use the burnup chart, the result presented is misleading and shows (I guess) the hours of all the tasks from the beginning of the project (cumulative data). When I use the line chart, I can’t choose “day” or “date” as the x-axis. Anyone has an idea how can I define a chart that will answer our needs? ---

Hi @Rotem_Yarkoni Can you share your chart please. ---

To confirm, this chart isn’t showing just the last 2 weeks? ---

It doesn’t seem like that. I don’t know for what date the x-axis is referring to - the due-date, the completion date, the creation date. ![Search results](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/3/c/3c4c6ba65f6f4148e8fab798785a54edbc27a67c.jpeg) ---

What you are seeing is total est hours (y-axis) on tasks marked complete within the last 2 weeks. When you click on the chart, it is showing you all tasks related to the query, which includes **Total** tasks. The burnup compares information. In this case, the Total number of tasks vs the number of tasks Completed. You added the extra dimension of estimated hours. ---

Thank you, I don’t think I add dimension - I chose “Est. Hours” as the y-axis instead of “Task Count”. I expected is to see the total estimated hours for that day. Instead, I was given a graph that I could not understand the data displayed in it and when I entered the search results, the displayed data is even more confusing and I am presented with tasks that it is not clear to me why they are displayed. The graph I selected may not be right, but I did not find a graph that would meet my simple need: Sum of planned “Est. hours” for a day, on a timeline. ---

Sorry, you want for a specific time period as well, not just total. You may want to add this to [Product Feedback - Asana Forum](https://forum.asana.com/c/product-feedback/20) ---
