Gantt Chart

A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule, named after its inventor, Henry Gantt, who designed such a chart around the years 1910–1915. Modern Gantt charts also show the dependency relationships between activities and current schedule status.

The main purpose of Gantt chart is to represent timeline of any project. Which can include task, start date, due date, effort time etc. In this article we will create a Gantt chart by using following data:

Step 6: Now Add new series to plot Effor in Hrs column as shown below:

Step 7: Right Click on the vertical axis ->Format Axis->Axis Option. Click the check box “Categories in reverse order” as shown below .This will reverse the chart.

Step 8: Right click on the Blue Bars>>Format Data Series, under Fill click “No fill” Under Border click “No line” as shown below:

The date value can be converted into Numbers using “=Value()” function which will help manipulating Axis bounds Min and Max values.

Step 9: you can adjust the gap by using Axis gap option as shown below to format chart more readable. Select the series and right click Format Data Series:

Post adjusting the Axis and Gap Width the chart should look like as below:
