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? 🙄😀
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
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!
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.
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 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... :(
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 brilliantly executed; informative, concise, yet thorough-not to mention polished. Thanks very much taking the time, it's been extremely helpful.

Thank you very much, sir, but I have a question. If I have an activity for a period of time and there are two days off during that period, what is the equation that I can enter so that the period of implementation of this activity is extended for two additional days?
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

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.
Great Video - I am having trouble with one part though. I have 25 weeks in the project, however when my progress is at 100%, it only fills up 18 weeks (and not the full 25). It also allows my progress bar to reach 160%, and only then will all 25 weeks be green. I have set the Progress bar min/max between 0 and 1. What am I missing? How can I extend the green bar to all 25 weeks to signify 100% complete?
This might be wrong, but I managed to achieve the result by multiplying my business day column by 10/7 within the conditional formatting formula, to account for the weekends being added
Is it possible to use a gantt chart over a 5 year projection with the project scenarios, each with various activities? Everything I see is shorter term and wondering if it's Gantt charts have certain timeline limitations. thank you -- Laura
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...
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 ,
Hi! I have a question. What if you have broken start date and end date, meaning you have 2 sets of dates in a single row. Can you make the progressive filled chart that will adapt to the 2 sets of date?
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.
Hi thanks for the video, works well overall. Still have some problem the %completion is not working fine with small tasks( day task) hoe can I fix that
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.
I can't see why but the darker colour on each task doesn't work for every task. It shows the progress for the first two. I can't figure out what went wrong. Otherwise it's the best video I have found. I missed something along the way though.
I'm trying to do the same as you but number months! instead of weeks. what do i put in the format cells - custom ???I tried mm instead of wk # but that just gives the month not the number of months???? HELLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP. Thanks for this tutorial super helpful for a task i got at work related to PM :)
@kenji, Thank you for the wonderful video. I have a question wherein my start date and end date does not have either monday or friday assuming my project starts on monday then the gantt chart does not show bars shown in the right mapped to the week in green color. Please assist. Thank you
The most intelligible Gantt Chart tutorial I´ve seen by far, thanks a lot Kenji, great job!
Thank you so much really fun learning this. In the formula =EN(H$7>=$C10;H$7
same here :) thanks man!

Thank you, Kenji, I wish I had found your channel sooner.
again, I find my interest to learn excel, after listening you. thank you
that's awesome to hear thank you!
Can you explain how to calculate the progress figures; it looked like you just entered random numbers. Thank you!
Omg, how did you become such a genius at such a young age. Awesome! Thanks!

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
This is the most straightforward Gantt chart I’ve come across. I completed it and felt very accomplished. Thank you.
This was so useful Kenji, thank you. I have subscribed.

Thank you Kenji. Great tutorial. I am a complete Xcel Beginner, so I don't know where these formulas all come from. How can I learn more about that?
WOW. solved so many doubts in such a short video
Very nice and easy to understand tutorial ever..more power to you Kenji.

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.
Just used Kenji's explanation to make my first construction timeline. Easy to understand and translate to my own works
Thanks!!!!!!!

or small sub task just for 1 day

awesome video .... most useful video I have ever seen for project management 🙏🙏🙏
Please, which formula did you use for the progress, that converted it to percentage or did you manually type the figures?
