I have read lots of information regarding timelines,stacked bar charts, gannt charts, but have not been succesful in displaying information I require.
I have a certain number of projects on the go at once, all at different stages. I want to be able to display all these stages at once for each project together based on the actual or expected dates.
To give an example: Say I was a housing developer (I'm not!) and had 5 different houses I was working on. I would want a chart that would display each of these 5 houses as a seperate series. For each house I would want to know when the plans would be submitted to planning, when a decision is expected, when I could start construction and when people could move in.
So I would want a stacked bar chart, the first stage, say up to Dec '09 is pre-planning, before planning in Dec '09. The next stage is awaiting a decision until July'10 when a decision is expected. Third stage is construction etc
So from the sketches I have, a stacked bar chart should be possible. Time on the X axis, hopefully a continuos data series. On the Y axis would be my 5 projects and the stacked bars would show pre-planning taking up until Dec '09 then awaiting decision until July '10.
This will allow me to see where all projects are in time relativeto each other.
If anyone can help me work out how to create such a chart I would be most grateful.
