hi there,
I have multiple projects with many different stages within the lifecycle I want to reflect in a good visualization where each project is represented on a single line/path and all the various phases can be showed with this line.
Essentially a Gannt chart but without the breakout of the tasks.
Any ideas on how to approach this and make it dynamic to build based on the inputs in the table

(I cant download the addin for the table on my work computer)
This is some mocked up date - there will more projects and more phases but the concept is that each item will have a Task Id and if applicable will be related to to a parent TaskID

Above is my input and below is how I would like this to be presented - the dates wont always line up as evenly as this - i.e a phase my traverse a couple of months and I would like to be able to represent the data in the cells as needed by the start and end dates in my table.
Any help on this one would be fantastic.

Excel Facts

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
I have come up with the below attempt but still not perfect - I cant seem to get my X axis to begin at Jan 2023 and end Dec 2023 and keep all the information on the Phases.
I have used the date value number for Max and min as options but with no success
I have excluded the start date in my chart as I only want the effort based on the end date included

Any ideas on how I can update my X axis here?
