How to Make the BEST Gantt Chart in Excel (looks like Microsoft Project!)

[@michellealexi9901]

For those of you who just want to copy and paste that first formula for the date thing: =IF(MONTH(D3-WEEKDAY((D3),2)+1) < MONTH(D3), (D3-28-DAY(D3)+7) - WEEKDAY((D3-DAY(D3)+7),2)+1, (D3-DAY(D3)+7) - WEEKDAY((D3-DAY(D3)+7),2)+1)

[@kelvindoble]

I have typed it in a dozen times and couldn't get it to work so was delighted to see this thank you. However have you noticed that it doesn't seem able to cope with a project date before the 28th January - it can't go back to proceeding year Even the early chart shows a project start date of the 1st but the first week commencing is the 3rd. I have spent too many hours trying to make it work 😂

[@derekmurray59]

Took me a bit longer than 15 minutes to get the hang of it. Wish I had read these comments beforehand and noticed somebody was kind enough to drop all the Excel formulae. Well worth the effort though. This is a great tool.

[@hettardsplat]

Fantastic step by step! Some of the bits went a little quickly so a LOT! of pausing and repalying but I now have an amazing Gantt chart to use across multiple projects! well worth the time invested. One suggestion would be to post the different formulas in the description to make it easier and save a LOT of typing and re-typing when things go wrong.

Aside from the cut at 10:35ish, it was incredibly easy to follow. At that junction, there's really no explanation on what to actually do here, but fortunately I found the answer in the comments. Select K6 (assuming you followed the guide exactly) and then do ctrl+shift+end, and it will automatically select the entire chart, then you can go into the conditional formatting, select the create new rule option, paste the equation there, and then you can format the cell and continue on. Thank you David for such a helpful and insightful video!!

[@12parkourdude12]

@@beckysings1669 Hi Becky, so it worked for me in the end. I basically thought I was being clever by putting the status table on another sheet (thought it would look neater) and I also had another sheet with something else on (so 3 sheets open, 1 including the gantt chart). Even though I selected 'this worksheet' on the conditional formatting, it wouldn't work. So, I decided to copy and paste the whole gantt chart (only) onto a brand new excel sheet, I quickly re-did the status table using the previous guide and kept it on the same sheet as the gantt chart this time. I then tried the 'golden colour for complete' formula and it worked. Not that technical of a fix, but it worked. I can't do the final 'percentage blocked' formula though. That still won't work. Good luck and keep singing!

[@lajosn]

You are a Master at this. ... and it was also a good presentation. God bless you!

[@richardwalton3613]

Well done. Though it is missing a key component of a gantt chart: Dependencies. The whole purpose of a (complete) gantt chart is to show what tasks depend on what other tasks and what the impact of changing one or more tasks has on the schedule. If your intention was artistic in nature, this is very good. But don't sell this as a gantt chart. Thanks for showing how to build our own sheets. Much more impactful than simply uploading someone else's sheets.

[@southcoastsynthesis]

I agree. The point of using a tool like MS Project is for predecessors and successors and the whole scheduling engine. Also, summary tasks and other features for navigating a large project schedule. Not to mention resourcing features. Excel might be OK for a very simple task list but I can't imagine running an actual project without something like MS Project!

[@robertduda4234]

See my question about the FOUR types of dependencies.

[@danielbarnatt9332]

I think how important this is depends on the size of the project, Many mini projects can and are managed on excel sheets manually and this automates some of the basic functions of laying out a chart. I find managing an ms project plan cumbersome in pretty much all but the most rigidly defined projects. Equally i often find faults in the ms-project scheduling engine that can put your entire plan out of kilter, meaning you up end spending more time getting your plan to behave correctly than you do actually delivering anything. In the kind of environments i manage manage projects in i need something that is quickly editable on the fly at a whim, without being to concerned with what impact changing one line may have on the rest of the plan. I can make notes against the cells in excel and cater for the dependencies later when i have time. Also in complex changing environments dependencies are always changing , and often things that you thought were dependencies turn out not to be and vica versa. In my experience having a plan that is a little looser in is restrictiveness can actually be helpful for a busy project manager.

[@jamessbca]

@@danielbarnatt9332this has been my experience as well. Any MS project schedule I create is like a beautiful work of art on Day 1. But I’ve never successfully tracked progress in it. I’ve been developing a “task list” in excel that simply has tasks, estimated hours per task, and a “percent complete” cell, which drives 10 conditionally formatted cells that represent a “gas gauge” - how close to done the task is, From 1-10 Real life is always way more complicated than an MS project schedule. The fact that project doesn’t let me take notes anywhere on the screen just kills me. I’m reinvigorated with the idea of doing this in excel (and keeping it very simple) due to recently working with a very competent project manager who uses a white board and post-it notes. He doesn’t use a computer at all, let alone MS project. (And I just save the excel file with a new date in the filename each time, so I could always go back in time super easily if I ever wanted to…)

Hi can I have the completed gannt chart please..I can't get the formulas to work

[@dagwould]

A couple of thoughts: drop down lists maybe on a separate 'tools' sheet: easier to use across tabs and to update. Use a table for the list. % complete only for when the output is countable. Estimates never work. If there is no countable output, the activity is 0% until it is 100%. And 100% means accepted by the PM (and the client). IMO, better to have an expected completion date, so it is concrete and drives commitment on the reporter.

[@davidmclachlanproject]

These are great ideas, certainly do-able 🙂

[@dagwould]

@@davidmclachlanproject David, glad you found my thoughts of interest. One more thought, in my domain, a milestone is a durationless event; I identify a milestone as an activity of zero duration: so start and end dates are the same. They usually come at the end of a sequence of activities that produce a work package or discrete component.

Amazing tutorial , i was able to successfully create a great tracker using this. Made few tweeks to highlight overdue items status box and remove highlights from gantt chart if status marked as not started. Again thank you so much for this great tutorial , subscribed

Amit do you mind sharing code for overdue items please?

[@chinwanong1899]

Hi, do you sharing the overdue items status box? I am looking at adding actual completion date and highlight the overdue items..

Mr. David .. first of all thanks for your efforts and wish you all the best, some functions are not working with me like milestone (the diamond) and blokes filling .. any idea? Is it related to the window or something else? Can you please help in this?

Hi David, great tutorial! Do you know why excel returns "there's a problem with this formula", when I e.g. try and run IF(K$4=($F6-WEEKDAY($F6,2)+1),"u",""). The same also goes for the following formula when trying to add the gantt bars? Best regards

[@Gowaz89]

Try using " ; " instead of " , " That worked for me

[@AndreasBodin]

Absolutely phenomenal! 🤩 Thank you very much David. 🙏🏻

Great video, thank you! If I want to take the individual days timeline and turn them into weeks across a month, how could I do that?

[@Safari_Secrets.]

Did you ever find out how to do this?

OK...this is amazing. Thank you for sharing you learning. I work in Project, but sometimes not everyone has project within an organization.

Hey David, just wanted to say that I love what you created. I wanted to ask if you have expanded any further using Gantt charts on excel? For example adding in a critical path or milestones, keeping track of budget used in each phase etc

[@morristheman1848]

Would love to see this as well! Let me know if you found somewhere else to do this

[@ksojoel]

that would be awsome, since the critical path is.. well.. CRITICAL in any project
