Need to use VBA to create a Gantt chart

Hi

First post, so please excuse if added items/references wrong.
I am trying to develop a Gantt using VBA, I cannot use the Conditional Fromatting style or any style that prevents me from referencing the date cells which have colour or text.
I would like to have two sheets. Sheet 1 = Gantt and sheet 2 will have a lookup for specific engineer.
My initial thought is to create a gantt ffrom which I can Index match (or similar, perhaps even use VBA again) and populate the date ranges booked in sheet one against each engineers name in sheet 2
Code I have used so far seems to hang Excel, but if I add "Stop" before "End Sub " it does both colour and add text.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

CODE:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim i, j As Integer

ScreenUpdating = False

On Error Resume Next
FirstRow = Sheets("Sheet1").Usedrange.Rows(2).Row
LastRow = Sheets("Sheet1").Usedrange.Rows(ActiveSheet.Usedrange.Rows.Count).Row
LastCol = Sheets("Sheet1").Usedrange.Columns(ActiveSheet.Usedrange.Columns.Count).Column

With Sheets("Sheet1")
For j = 5 To LastCol
For i = 2 To LastRow

If Sheets("Sheet1").Application.WorksheetFunction.IsText(Cells(i, 1)) = True And Cells(1, j).Value >= Cells(i, 3).Value And Cells(1, j).Value <= Cells(i, 4).Value Then
Sheets("Sheet1").Usedrange.Cells(i, j).Value = Cells(i, 2)
Sheets("Sheet1").Usedrange.Cells(i, j).Interior.ColorIndex = 4

End If
Next
Next
End With

ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
