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
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.
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

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.
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!
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... :(
This is brilliantly executed; informative, concise, yet thorough-not to mention polished. Thanks very much taking the time, it's been extremely helpful.
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.
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 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 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!
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...
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
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 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?
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?
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
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.
The most intelligible Gantt Chart tutorial I´ve seen by far, thanks a lot Kenji, great job!
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!
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

I too have a problem with designing this in the excel Gantts Chart
This is the most straightforward Gantt chart I’ve come across. I completed it and felt very accomplished. Thank you.
again, I find my interest to learn excel, after listening you. thank you
that's awesome to hear thank you!
Thank you, Kenji, I wish I had found your channel sooner.
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 :)
great video, thank you. i also had some issues using network days. is there a solution? can you create predecessors or dependants?
hope it works tried many online templates finally can make my own
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.
THE BEST SO FAR
Thanks.Great job. I completed the Gantt chart and am very excited to implement it. You are excellent, sir
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?
Can you explain how to calculate the progress figures; it looked like you just entered random numbers. Thank you!
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.
Thank you! Awesome that you figured that out 👍
Excel file link ..pls share

Thank you so much for that insightful easy to follow tutorial.
Thank you for watching :)
awesome video .... most useful video I have ever seen for project management 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for such a brilliant and detailed explaination!
Hi the progress bar and timeline doesnt coordinates when you use network days, can you please tell how to fix it?

Great video!!!
This video deserves more likes and more views, awesome content
Just used Kenji's explanation to make my first construction timeline. Easy to understand and translate to my own works
Thanks!!!!!!!
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.
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
Thanks Much for explaining with lot of patience and highlighting about formulas in detail
Thanks. Very helpful for making a quick gantt chart for simply tracking projects without having to use MS Project.
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!
Actually, removing the -1 is what causes the two green bars but the rest show no progress
this is very good. i have been doing this manually. draw and update the bar chart manually. i got 2 problems with this template:

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

Thanks!
Thank you so much, just a questions, the %completion not working fine with small duration tasks, like say the task is 7 days or so with weekly scale
or small sub task just for 1 day
Do you have example for gannt per hour over multiple days
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..
Very very helpful Kenji!!!!

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.
Thank you so much ! I do a lot of data analysis and tracking so this is very helpful 👏🏾
Please, which formula did you use for the progress, that converted it to percentage or did you manually type the figures?
thanks so much, I have used it today. very handy.
Thank you very much for thid dynamic tool! It is very helpful in case other PM tools are not available.
Wow! Thank you!
I've seen anything looking easier!
I'll have to test it though.
Thank you for this interesting Gant Chart
Great work done. It was fantastic one. However, when I got to the percentage side, I was getting True throughout. What could be the problem?
Thank you helps a lot! What can I add to my function so weekends don't become highlighted on gantt by the dates for start and end?
Thank you sir, it is very helpful.😇
Hi again, and sorry, but I found out :-) In Denmark we have to ude ; instead of , so now it works fine, so tanks for a super tutorial 👍
you were amazing! And helped save the day for me! Clear, right pace and very articulate!
Thank you!
You are GREAT! Thank you!
Simply the best🙌🏾

Hello,
It is very nice and informative video. However, i am facing issues in month timeline as it was not showing proper % marking on the chart.
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...
Voow many thanks, you are awesome man
can you provide a downloadable link for this Gantt chart ?
Brilliant. Loved it

really great dear
Thank you so much for sharing!
GREAT HELP, THANK YOU
Nicely Explained....
WOW very helpful
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!
I appreciate you for this.
Now I know what Gantt chart 📉 🎉 Awesome
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?
Thank you so much
Kenji, How do you add start and end dates to the chart bars? for each project timeline.
Thank you for this awesome tutorial, I know have a beautiful Gnatt chart thanks to your guidance 😁😁
Really helpful, thanks!!
thanks u brother

Thanks Kenji, Awesome detailed vedio and you do it simply as normal.
This tutorial taught me a lot. Absolute legend!
Thanks for the video. How can I remove Saturday and Sunday if I do it on days?
very usefull video. thanks for sharing
Thanks so much, bro. I moved along with your video and learned new tactics.
Looks good. Suggestion to include business working day Mon to Friday and exclude holidays
Thanks for your helping me increase my excel skills
that makes me happy to hear thank you!
Love it, Thx!
WOW this is great!
Very helpful...thanks
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.
Thanks Kenji , you're a lifesaver
Very simple. Good stuff
Thanks so much for sharing.
My best wishes for continued success.. Is it possible to pass on the news as I am just beginning?
I love this thank you so much!!
Thank you🙏
