I thought I had a good idea, but I am not so sure now. I am trying to use the same concept for in-cell charts using the REPT() to make a Gantt chart. The problem I am running into is that I can't get a bar to cross cell boundaries without some white space, so it looks clunky. I have used formulas and conditional formatting in the past, which works fine, but in this case I was trying to find a method to start or end a bar in the middle of a cell. Is there a way to format to remove the white space? Or, is there another way to do it to accomplish the same result? Note that in the Excel sheet there are no gridlines, so where there are gridlines in the sample below, it is whitespace in the excel sheet.

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
The maximum column width is 255. You could easily fit eight months of your Gantt into one column.

Use a fixed-width or monospace font, Consolas or Courier New. These fonts have typewriter-like letter spacing—the vertical bar, "|" or U+007C, has the same width as the space character, " " or U+0020.

If you start the calendar at, say October 1, and the active dates for that row are October 15 through December 14, the base formula is

=REPT(" ", 14) & REPT("|", 60)

I've usually done this with type of in-cell Gantt with 0.5 width columns, formulas that return 1 or zero, and conditional formatting.
