Hey geniuses - grateful for any guidance on setting up a Gantt chart.
I've spent way too long looking for template Gantt charts and cannot work out how the formulas and conditional formatting work. I have been unable to find a suitable template that I could adapt. This was my first plan.
I have a worksheet that is basically divided in two parts:
- the left side is the details of tasks (task name, who its assigned to, its status (as a four option list), progress (as a percentage), start and finish dates).
- the right side was intended to show the progress of each task, simply by month from Dec 22 until Jun 24.
Issue 1: Initially I was thinking I could do this with conditional formatting, to fill the corresponding row for start and end month of each task. I have completed the start month, however then can't work out how to do the end month and then fill format what is between.
Issue 2: I was hoping to show percentage of progress as a change in fill relative to each task (for instance if a task was to take 4 months and was 50% completed, there would be a colour change shown for the first two months). I now doubt this is possible.
Issue 3: I was hoping to flag at risk projects with a 'tick-box' to then insert a shape within the chart. I now doubt this is possible.
Issue 4: Is there a better was to show allocated months, progress and completeness in a Gantt chart?
In short, please help. Any Gantt chart guidance would be appreciated before I lose my mind.
Cheers, BBau
