Hello All,
I am building a file that allows someone to create a basic timeline using dropdown selections. These dropdowns in individual rows change the durations of their respective tasks. I would like to build a visual timeline bar that appends all of the rows data together into a single timeline visual on one row.

Example

Task A = 2 weeks
Task B = 3 weeks
Task C = N/A for this project
Task D = 2 weeks

The Timeline result I'd like to see is:
A A B B B D D

Where each letter is in a separate column on the same row allowing me to use conditional formatting to color code the tasks and show the consolidated duration of the tasks as a whole project.

Any help with this would be appreciated!
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
How about using a bar chart like this?:

@felixstraube ,
You ever have one of those days/moments where you just can't help but laugh at yourself? Thank you for pointing out a very sensible solution to my attempts to overcomplicate this!
