Make This Awesome Gantt Chart in Excel (for Project Management)

[@adelinogoncalves9963]

The most intelligible Gantt Chart tutorial I´ve seen by far, thanks a lot Kenji, great job!

[@Consultelainewilliams]

This is the most straightforward Gantt chart I’ve come across. I completed it and felt very accomplished. Thank you.

[@HotButteredCorn]

Kenji: Outstanding! Very helpful. Thank you. However, for those of us who actually practice project management, there are a few items missing in many Excel Gantts. Tasks often need to include one of the following: Finish-to-Start (FS): Task A must be complete before Task B begins. Finish-to-Finish (FF): Task A must be complete before Task B can be complete. Start-to-Start (SS): Task A must have started before Task B can start. Start-to-Finish (SF): Task A must have started before Task B can finish Any ideas about how to include this? 🙄😀

[@probodhnayak3167]

I too have a problem with designing this in the excel Gantts Chart

[@davidcollins6976]

In lieu of any better solution (and I'm sure there is one), I just manually decide on start and end dates for those relative tasks

This the 1/3 excel gantt chart video I seen and tested that actually works. Great work keep it up.

[@RCSMgmt]

This is brilliantly executed; informative, concise, yet thorough-not to mention polished. Thanks very much taking the time, it's been extremely helpful.

[@VishnuVardhan-sj6nd]

Hey Kenji! Great Lesson as always :) I noticed that when I apply 'Networkdays()' in the 'Days' cell, the final 'dark green fill' doesn't get tabulated properly. I switched to simple subtraction of 'end date' - 'start date' and the fill works perfectly.

[@KenjiExplains]

Thank you! Awesome that you figured that out 👍

[@coachsudhakar]

Excel file link ..pls share

[@pinko-u6y]

the final "dark green fill" didn't work for me either but your comment inspired me to figure out what the issue was. So apperently the rule we created for the dark green fill didn't take weekends in account. So we need to modify the formula =AND(H$10>=$C12, H$10

[@JBIFSGuides]

[@danguardo9501]

great video, thank you. i also had some issues using network days. is there a solution? can you create predecessors or dependants?

Thank you, Kenji, I wish I had found your channel sooner.

[@MSshorts..-iq7os]

Love you sir Your are best teacher in the world❤

[@ankitbhatt3155]

Excellent tutorial! The one thing I noticed is that the conditional formatting formula for progress (dark green) doesn't account for the Networkdays formula in the days column. For example, on a 4 week task, when you use networkdays the formula adds 20 days to the start date to measure completion. 20 days is less than 4 weeks so it returns a false value in the last week.

[@bamnisah]

Great guide and great styling suggestions! This made tackling a new project super easy and relieved a lot of stress! Thank you very much :)

[@pete7019]

This is really great! Got mine set up! I did notice though that the -1 fix doesn't work for all of the bars. I changed my progress % to all 100 and there was one bar that wasn't showing full. When changed to all 0%, two bars showed a start. Rest of it work great!

[@pete7019]

Actually, removing the -1 is what causes the two green bars but the rest show no progress

[@rexencatz9075]

Hello Kenji thank you very much. How about if you want to revise the end date while still reflecting the original end date? Example you want to extend the end date by 2 more weeks. Thank you for noticing..

[@packard37]

WOW. solved so many doubts in such a short video

[@md.anwarulkabir3020]

Hi Kenji. Thanks for this, really awesome!!! Just one point if the end date exactly matches with the date of the calendar then the last cell doesn't take the green color due to this minus 1 in the formula. Could you please check and suggest how can I clear it? Appreciate!

[@robinjohansson685]

I had the same problem, but seemed to have solved it by adding +1 to the day counting formula. So the number of days are correct. Otherwise it seems to now count first or last day. 1 day activities show 0 days etc. So in column for Days I write: =IF(C11="";"";D11-C11+1) So adding the +1 before last ) compared to video.

[@araze3195]

Hi the progress bar and timeline doesnt coordinates when you use network days, can you please tell how to fix it?

[@furkanyildirim3644]

We considered 1 week as 5 days. Therefore, we need to multiply cell E10 by 1.4 and write it into the formula. As a result, the final form of the formula will be as follows: =AND(H$7>=$C10;H$7

[@PavankumarHarapanhalli]

Thank you for the great explanation; If the number of days is

The percentage status is per week or part of a week. It's either 100% or 0% of a week. There's another technique that requires a lot of formulas and some coding.

[@arpanatikekar8699]

Thank you for such a brilliant and detailed explaination!

[@sapaktam2550]

this is very good. i have been doing this manually. draw and update the bar chart manually. i got 2 problems with this template: No. 1: when my starting date for an activity is in the middle of the of the week. the schedule marking in green show the following week. No. 2. if my starting date and finished date fall in the middle of the week, the green schedule does not appear at all.

[@anouko.9001]

I have the same problem(s) and I haven't figured out how to fix it. I concluded that: if start of the week is 29-07-24 but the start of task is 1-08-24 it is somehow not considered greater than or equal to 29-07-24... :(

[@ennurbardakc6966]

does anyone know the solution?

[@thularematlaba196]

Check your Conditional Formatting formula as well as the area it Applies to. Mine changed itself and I had to correct it before it worked.

[@aditighosh4926]

Same problem and dont know how to resolve this?

[@aditighosh4926]

Hi I could resolve this using this formula. =AND(I$6>=$D8-(WEEKDAY($D8,2)+1),I$6

This is a really great chart. I really appreciate the time you took to make this video. It is super helpful. One bit of advice, slow down when you are talking. You are moving way too fast in speech and in video. This is a VERY GOOD tutorial, but you move WAY too fast to follow - and I am experienced in excel.

good gantt chart Kenji... 👏👏👏

For MAC users, you need to select new rule --> classic --> use a formula... (for the conditional formatting part with the dynamic slides) and use ; rather than ,

[@jayv6960]

The video was beneficial and very well put together. However, there is one issue that I found. The colored progress bar doesn't correctly reflect the start and end date. Example: Row 11 start date is 19-Jan-2024, and the color bar is showing it starting from Wk 3 instead of Wk 2. Ideas on how to resolve that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! thank you for this tutorial!!! I have a small question - I would like to use Months instead of Weeks in my planning, but I cant find it. For weeks you need to format Wk #. I tried for months Mo # and Mm #, but it gives me an error. Do you know how can I do it? Thank you in advance

[@udaysinhbhosale788]

Thanks for this video, seems there is issue in formula. week numbers are derived by adding +7 for each week, however for progress you have considered only workweek (5 days i.e =AND(H$7>=$C10;H$7

[@zinzinrhea]

=AND(H$7 >= $C10, H$7

[@furkanyildirim3644]

We considered 1 week as 5 days. Therefore, we need to multiply cell E10 by 1.4 and write it into the formula. As a result, the final form of the formula will be as follows: =AND(H$7>=$C10;H$7
