How to make Gantt Chart in Excel

A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule, named after its inventor, Henry Gantt.
You normally make a Gantt chart to organize and spread out your task in a graphical way so it is easy to see for each task, its start date and the end date in the form of a bar. This gives a very easy overview of the future tasks in one place.
It is very easy to make a Gantt chart in Excel. All you need is a start date for each task and the duration of each task and leave the rest to Excel.

    I have some projects that do not have dates yet, so the chart creates dates as far back as the year 1900, which shows the project as tiny blips. I had to fix that by selecting the dat axis at the bottom, right-click "Format axis", go to the "Format axis" tab (looks like a graph - the right-most one after "Fill & line", "Effects", and "Size and Properties"), expand "Axis Options", and in the "Bounds" --> "Minimum" value I put a recent date - "1/1/2023". Then it showed up fine. This was great! Thanks so much!

  • @innovative_learner

    @innovative_learner

    3 жыл бұрын

    Thanks for your question. Yes, it is possible to change order of table but you will, first, have to skip changing order of tasks in vertical column so in vertical axis Task-7 should be on the top and below it would be Task-6, -5, -4, -3, -2 and thus Task-1 will be on the bottom. This should still be perfectly fine as it would mean that your oldest task (Task-1) is on the bottom and other tasks are piling up thus your latest task (Task-7) is on the top. By doing so the data table will start with Task-1. Hope that helps. Thanks.

  • @innovative_learner

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hi, yes you can take care of the following things: 1. When choosing start date of a task, make sure you don't select weekends. All your start dates must be week days (Monday to Friday). Table only shows start date so if your all start dates are week days, you will not see weekends on your table. 2. In the graph, on the date scale, when you choose Minimum value for date, make sure it must be a week day. Once you do that, for the Major Unit, choose numbers that are multiples of 7 i.e. 7 or 14 or 21 and so on. In this way you will not see any weekend (Saturday or Sunday) on your graph. Hope that helps. Let me know if you are still not sure. Have a lovely day :-)
