Hi, new member to the forum here. Your help would be much appreciated.

I'm beginning to build a dynamic dashboard to show the current state and availability of system environments however I'm struggling with displaying the data in the correct format that I want from a pivot table and chart.

I have a list of environments with several variables. I’m trying to show if the environments are currently being used and if they are, when it becomes available to use again. I have a 'booked from' column and 'booked to' column and also a 'Duration' column which calculates the days from booked to end date.
I want a bar chart to show the Names of the environments down the y axis and months along the x axis to show when the use of environment finishes. However I have been trying to figure out how to show this for hours. Yes hours! It seemed pretty straight forward in my head but struggling to implement. I can’t seem to get the x axis to show the months. Note: I want the x axis date to start from earliest 'Booked from' date. Please see example of data below.
