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? 🙄😀
I did not have the "freeze pane" in my Gantt chart. Makes it much more appealing now. This was an awesome video and your speaking tone was spot on and easy to follow along.
This is brilliantly executed; informative, concise, yet thorough-not to mention polished. Thanks very much taking the time, it's been extremely helpful.
Thank you so very much for the insightful video, this was truly simple and easy to follow. I have just made my first gantt chart with no cheat and I feel proud.
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.
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
This is one of the best, or the best tutorial I have ever seen for that kind of stuff... great job. You're really informing and smooth.... great job.... thx for that. was looking for such a video for a long time...
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
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 ,
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..
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!
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.
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.
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... :(
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

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.
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!
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.
Hey RUclips and Kenji, Thank you for a nice tutorial, however conditional formatting does not seem to work correctly if the period of dates are equal to each other. E.g. if Days = 1 and Start Date = End Date. Hope someone can help! Thanks in advance.

The most intelligible Gantt Chart tutorial I´ve seen by far, thanks a lot Kenji, great job!
Investments are the roots of financial security; the deeper they grow, the stronger your future will be."
The deeper your investment roots, the stronger your financial security will be in the future.
Exactly! With my adviser, I’ve cultivated deep investment roots, strengthening my financial security for the future.
I would love an introduction to an adviser who can help me strengthen my financial roots.

Thank you for this amazing tip. I just looked the name up and wrote her.
This is the most straightforward Gantt chart I’ve come across. I completed it and felt very accomplished. Thank you.
Thank you so much really fun learning this. In the formula =EN(H$7>=$C10;H$7
same here :) thanks man!
In the above formula I'm not being able to clear the "$" symbol
@@furkanyildirim3644 Thank you, I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why it wouldn't work for values above 50%.

I too have a problem with designing this in the excel Gantts Chart
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
Thanks!
Thank you, Kenji! This video was a life saver. Really well explained. I was able to create a project plan so easily. Much gratitude to u!
again, I find my interest to learn excel, after listening you. thank you
that's awesome to hear thank you!
It was a breakthrough for me,
So easy way to understand and creating a gantt chart. Thank you.
That's awesome to hear thank you for your comment :)
This the 1/3 excel gantt chart video I seen and tested that actually works. Great work keep it up.
Thank you, Kenji, I wish I had found your channel sooner.

Thanks.Great job. I completed the Gantt chart and am very excited to implement it. You are excellent, sir
Omg, how did you become such a genius at such a young age. Awesome! Thanks!
Thanks Kenji, I got one now which is very important to track all project activities... Many thanks
A great lesson! Thank you Kenji for the perfect instruction.
Thanks. Very helpful for making a quick gantt chart for simply tracking projects without having to use MS Project.
Thank you for the amazing content, very helpful in making the Gantt Chart easier with the simple explanation in this video, god bless you Kenji 😇💚
Just used Kenji's explanation to make my first construction timeline. Easy to understand and translate to my own works
Thanks!!!!!!!
Thanks
Thanks Kenji!! This was really educational for me.
Can you explain how to calculate the progress figures; it looked like you just entered random numbers. Thank you!
Thank you so very much for the insightful video, this was truly simple and easy to follow. I have just made my first gantt chart with no cheat and I feel proud.
I love how the "Most replayed" slider bar looks like a mountain range with the amount of people going back to see how you did stuff.
Thanks Much for explaining with lot of patience and highlighting about formulas in detail
you were amazing! And helped save the day for me! Clear, right pace and very articulate!
Thank you!
Thanks Kenji, it was total fun to learn this from your video, keep progressing and if possible can we show the delayed task in this gantt chart
Very nice and easy to understand tutorial ever..more power to you Kenji.
WOW. solved so many doubts in such a short video
great video, thank you. i also had some issues using network days. is there a solution? can you create predecessors or dependants?

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

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

does anyone know the solution?
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.
Same problem and dont know how to resolve this?
Hi I could resolve this using this formula. =AND(I$6>=$D8-(WEEKDAY($D8,2)+1),I$6
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
