Very useful tips

Thank you and thanks for watching, cheers!

[@thecoolnat]

Super easy to understand. I like this tutorial so much. I really appreciate it and have subscribed to your YT channel. Thx Adriana. I have some questions below. Hope you could show to us. 1. How to get the progress %, is it any formula to get this value? Could you share the formula? 2. How to set it to auto-change color on the End date based on the Past Date or Due Soon? Is it any formula to set?

[@fredock]

Amazing 🤩

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thank you, and thanks for watching, cheers!

[@worldofkubo]

Thank you, Adriana, this has been very helpful. Just one question: I can't do all you're showing us here on the 'online Excel' (I'm using SharePoint and need to have this stuff online). The issue starts at 1:55-there's no option in the online Excel. Thank you for advice.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

You need to open the excel sheet in a desktop version to create it. Once created you can update it via the online version. SharePoint gives you both options to edit.

[@worldofkubo]

@@AdrianaGirdler thank you, I've done that-a nice Gantt Chart is ready! However, it seems that once uploading it into sharepoint, it turns only into a picture format which doesn't help a lot. any idea on this? if not, no worreis, it wa still a big help to make one GC offline. :)

[@AdrianaGirdler]

I would search on the internet your question as this is a Microsoft program issue. Cheers.

[@mikkeljensen8513]

mine does not come out like this at alllllllll

Thanks.

[@picklepixelpaperpepper8487]

I was curious, so I looked it up A Gantt chart is a bar chart that illustrates a project schedule. It was designed and popularized by Henry Gantt by 1915 GANTT is not an acronym; it doesn't stand for anything, and I totally thought it did.

[@robertduda4234]

Can you add dependencies? ● start to finish ● finish to start ● start to start ● finish to finish How about other types of restraints? Resources calendar(s)?

[@AdrianaGirdler]

This is a very basic version so you will not be able to add those items.

[@robertduda4234]

@@AdrianaGirdler So I guess there is no possiblity of resource loading by person , craft or function.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Everything is possible. What you are asking for needs a more developed spreadsheet/ software.

[@jashannikhanj7689]

I am not able to change my dates into numbers. Can you suggest something?

[@oscarrojas1358]

Love u!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thank you! Cheers 😊

[@wraith712]

Great Course....thanks for the information. BTW is there a way to incorporate the percentage into the video or is that basically just a simple assessment to add manually?

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Hi Wyatt. Yes you can add a percentage complete to your Gantt Chart but you will first need to add it in manually as an addition column in your WBS.

[@kishenwhabi4863]

Hi Adriana. Total newbie here, so…does this work on G-sheets?

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Short answer….no. Wish it did. Some of the functionalities are not in Google Sheets.
