    Excellent guide. thanks. Just one tip: if you want to prevent the dates from auto-incrementing when you drag the corner of the cell and then having to manually clean up the dates, just hold down CTRL while dragging and all the dates in the following cells will be the same as the initial cell's date.

      In general, if your Google Sheet settings indicate that you are not in the US, this may be useful. This is because in other countries, commas are used as decimal points. Therefore, slashes are used instead in the formulas.

    @Ilya Mikhelson, Thank you! This is incredibly helpful. May I ask, what would formula would I use if I wanted to have an Overall status of the project based on the associated tasks? For example, I'd like to know if my project was 'RED' due to any of the tasks missing their target completion date/s or yellow if any of the tasks were at risk of being missed. Would you mind sharing that?

    • @IlyaMikhelson
      @IlyaMikhelson  2 года назад +1

      Thank you for watching and commenting! I made a new sheet to attempt what you are asking (using the Project Status column): docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qFnzyLA6xuwg27SCqx--xj29ZFDqM3WrqssG1dtqbUI/edit?usp=sharing
      I made it so that it is yellow if the completion date is within 10 days. I'm not sure if this is what you had in mind, but hopefully it is a good starting point. Please let me know if I misunderstood!

    Thanks for a great video. I am using it for a master timeline for my office. I was wondering if there is a way to label the alternating colors representing the weeks as week 1, week 2, etc. Thanks in advance.

    How do you add milestones into the chart? And also, how can you show the top sparkline (blue squares breaking the timeline down into weeks) to show clearly the end of a week?

    Great tutorial and just what I needed! I noticed in your template, you added a line in white for "today()". Is there any way to change that color? I'm thinking of having it match the burndown color. Thanks again!

    Can you add a rule so that today is displayed in a different color. Like a red line straight down from the top cell to the last one.
