Gantt-type Chart With Quarterly Marks On The Date Axis?
May 22, 2014
I'm using a stacked bar chart (in Excel 2010, running on Windows 7) to create a simple Gantt-type chart - with just four or five bars. I've got my chart looking most of the way I want it to, but one thing still eludes me: I'd like to set up the major axis ticks to be quarters of the year (from 1/1/2011 to 4/1/2013). Since quarters are not regular intervals (they are not exactly every 90 days), I can't do this using Excel's standard functionality for choosing axis tick marks.
I have created a pseudo Gantt chart in Excel (a horizontal stacked bar chart). The chart is driven off data I have in a Power Pivot model (Auto Refreshed) and the Gantt chart displays data which spans a fixed 12 hour time frame.
The problem I am having is that in order for me to get the chart to display correctly I must manually (daily) get the excel decimal values for my Minimum DateTime and Maximum DateTime and then enter those numbers into the "AXIS Options" Bounds Minimum and Maximum value fields. I would like to automate that process so that the Axis Bounds are either driven from the data cells OR are always set to a specific 12 hour window 6pm->6am daily.
I have a excel with data values in 5 different columns.
Column A: Time in seconds (1,2,3,4,5.... so on) continuously in equal intervals.
Column B: Values Generated by my machine at each second (random values)
Column C: Values generated based on column B using a formula (Let formula be denoted by " F ").
Column D: Highest possible value of calculation on column B (With +ve error consideration in formula "F")
Column E: Least possible value of calculation on column B (With -ve error consideration in formula "F")
Two graphs need to be generated as follows:
Graph 1: X Axis: time values ( From Column A ) Y Axis: Corresponding machine generated values from Column B
Graph 2: Envelope X Axis: time values ( From Column A ) Y Axis: Both value of column D & E ( Time value 1 sec has two corresponding values, one from Column D and one from Column E)
Both values of Column D and E be plotted and the area between two lines generated by upper limit and lower limit (Column D and E respectively)
So for both, what chart types should I select, and how do I assign that particular column to that particular axis only.
Someone else built a this timeline using a date calculation that I am unable to modify. Fix date formula in row 7 to show FY14-FY18 and in row 7 show the quarters 1-4 along the years.
I'm using Excel 2007 and I want to plot data vs dates. Furthermore I want the dates on the dates axis to increment by month not by a certain number of days. So something like this:
1-Jan-09 1-Feb-09 1-Mar-09 ...
There's the Major/Minor Units on the Axis Options screen but I cannot type in a constant number since the number of days for each month is different.
I'm having trouble getting the dates i want on the horizontal axis on a chart in Excel 2013. I want 12 dates along the axis starting at 01/01/2013 then each month until 1/12/13 however as you can see the dates are 01/01/1900.
I am wanting the colors of the bars in a stacked chart to change based on the date in the X Axis. As the current date arrives, the stacked bar needs to change to various blue shades. If the date is in the future, the stacked bar needs to be various grey shades.
I have a spreadsheet with golfers handicaps, golfers names down the left in column A in rows 3-35. Row 2 has the event numbers titles 1 to 18 (18 events in a year). i need a graph that has the person as the vert axis and the horizontal axis needs to be the event numbers, so i can read down for the person and across to see how there handicaps change from each different event. i have attached the data below.
I have some numeric data that has to be put on a log chart. but there is no option for log charts. so i converted my data to log and then drew a chart but i am unable to edit the axis intervals and starting axis value. whenever i change the value it gets back to its default value,ie 1. can anyone tell me how to draw log chart or how to edit axis intervals and starting axis value?
The below is a sample Gantt chart that I'm using, it's working fine, what I want to do is when the STATUS is completed (Column H) goes from a cross to a tick (I'm using the format of Wingdings 2 - cross is O and tick is P) is to change the Gantt chart colour from it's current colour of green to say orange. In conditional formatting (in cell I3) I have, formula is =AND(I$2>=$F3,I$2
Hi guys, I would like to be able to automatically gantt chart the following data table, my problem is that i am unaware of how to create the gantt chart when there are several entries for the one location - the table is a booking sheet and the gantt chart is just a graphical display of the activity occuring in each bay - if any could help me achieve the following gantt chart from the the following table it would be much appreciated: ...
I am trying to find a way to automate this crude gant chart. What I am trying to do is the following:
1: By entering a start date and due date, and by adding a percentage to 4 different goals, create a sort of gant chart for each job.
2: Have this chart update as the start and due dates change.
3: Be able to past other gant charts below this one, based on the leader assigned to each job. ie. if Dave is a leader, create a worksheet that will have all of dave's Gant charts in one workbook, on one worksheet, pasted each one below the next. The goal being we can give each leader 1 sheet that has all their jobs.
I tried so long I finally gave up and drew this by hand in MS Word:
But I wonder if you guys could help me chart this automatical in Excel.
I want to chart the time period a ship (Vela, Serpentine, Rainbow etc) are contracted. I want a specific color for the firm contract, and another for the remaining optional contract. If a ship is under construction I also want a bar showing when it's done.
Each ship has a rate. I want this written on the bar. In "Vela's" case there are to rates for the same contract: The first 740 days the rate is 24,5 the rest of the period it is 29. I also would like to be able plot an additional contract for the same ship for example after "Syrena" is done in yr 2009.
Hey Guys- I'm not sure if this is even possible but I need some help. I have attached a file below similar to a gantt chart. I need help with the conditional formatting, as I have manually changed the colors to match what I need automated.
Basically I have 6 tasks and I need to change dates for individual projects but I also need the corresponding color to also change.
I am developing a Excel gantt chat i have chosen to display the bars by the lenght of the cell because the data is also most real time so as the time reduces so will the bars however the problem comes when there is tasks being done under one above it as i cant have the cells with different widths
What would be the best way to get around it as i want to keep the almost and the appearance of the real time nature of the cell width equal to the value.
I am looking to create a spreadheet that will automatically shade blocks in a gannt chart according to a list of dates.
I.e B13 & B14 will have the start and end date of the particular task or activity (this will be on another sheet)
Row A3 - S3 will contain dates, iusing a lookup formulas excel will look up the activity name (or number) and look for the relevant date, if the date listed in row 3 is within or equal to that date it will return yes, if not a no.
this seemed straightforad, but I cant think of a consistent formula that will do this, without having to keep changing it ...
I'm trying to create an Employee Scheduler. I want my employees (1 technician per row for a total of 10 rows) in the 1st column then the monthly calendar to the right (1 cell/day). That is what you'll see when you open the worksheet. Then, down below I set up my Data Area where I input my project, start date, end date, technician (where each tech is assigned a unique number), and other data across a row of cells. This could be infinite (or at least up to the very last row).
I modified a free Project Scheduler I got from XL-EasyGantt to become my Employee Scheduler but am having some difficulties getting it to do what I want. The project Scheduler basically works by entering (on the same row) the project (or task), the start date and finish date and then the cells get automatically filled in across those dates. This allows for overlapping of tasks but I want to create an Employee Scheduler so it doesn't allow overlapping or schedule a technician to start a new project before he/she has completed the one their on.
The main function which is in each cell of the monthly calendar is as follows: =IF(OR(AND($G28>=K$4,$G28<L$4),AND($M28>=K$4,K$4>=$G28)),IF(AND($E11="x",$M28>=K$4,$M28<L$4),"x",IF($E11=".",".","..")),"")
My problem: I want to be able to look at the Main Schedule and see when each Technician is scheduled for a job (or multiple jobs) for any given month. I want the function to look in my Data Area and assign the start date and end date of a project and the corresponding technician number and fill in the date cells across from their name in the Schedule above.
how to incorporate another category and value axis to my existing chart.
1. I need to add a rank axis derived from my data column (C6-C15). This column should rank from highest to lowest and create a tie if any number is repeated. I have arranged the rank column in cells B38:L38 as they would appear. I would like this to appear on the top or bottom of the bar graphs.
2. Second I need to add the frequency of hits which = 3 derived from cell J1 This should appear on the chart were it is currently titled. This should create another bar graph colored green and labeled 3.
3. Lastly the numbers axis can remain the same as it appears on the chart or if it would be better to align as shown in cells B43:L43.
I'm attempting to chart data obtained from our phone system to see when users are logged in/on rest.
I'm using Excel 2007.
The data we extract has: person | status | start | finish | duration
Status is either "login" or "rest" Start/finish is time (h:mm) Duration is a formula (h:mm, finish - start)
I want to have a stacked bar chart that shows when a person was logged in/on rest; one bar for each person.
x-axis: person y-axis: time (8am - 6pm) legend: status
The problem I'm encountering is that each person logs in and out multiple times throughout the day (therefore, has multiple lines to their name in the data), and I can't get this information to appear on a single bar for each person.
I've sorted the data into a pivot table which gives me the information I want, but how to get the chart.
Row labels a. Person b. status c. start
Values Min of duration
Ideally, I would like to avoid using a Gantt chart within cells (as it would involve vlookup/if statements), but am beginning to think that's my only option...
I'm trying to create a simplified Gantt chart of sorts, and cannot figure out one piece of it. I'm not sure how to write out exactly what I need, but here goes.
I would like to have a formula that looks at the percent completed (which the user inputs) and multiplies it by the total duration for the task to give a total number of days completed. Then, under the corresponding dates, the color of the cell would change. I've attached a simplified version of what I'm talking about.
On the attached spreadsheet, the total duration (D2) is 5 days and the percent completed (C2) is 40%. This calculates to 2 days. With that said, I would like the cells under the first 2 days under the listed dates (E2 and F2) to change color. When the percentage complete reaches 60%, then G2 would change color, when it reaches 80%, then H2 would change, and when it reaches 100%, then I2 would change.
My guess is that the formula will need to result in a particular value, and then I'll use Conditional Formatting to do the actual changing of the cell color. Assuming this is correct, I still don't know what formula to use to accomplish this.
Is there any way in which I can map the tick mark labels on either the x-axis or the y-axis to different values other than the ones that are being plotted for.
For example, lets say the data is:
1 5 2 6 3 10 4 15 5 8
I want to plot these in a chart but instead of displaying 1,2,3,4,5 on the x-axis, I want to display a different column, say,
5 7 9 11 13
The answer is not as simple as plotting the required x-values with the y-values. I have just used a simplistic example but the thing I am trying to do has dependencies involved so I cannot simply plot the chart with the required column.
How can I add missing values to the axis in a pivot chart line chart? I have a numerical X-axis with values such as 0,1,5,8,14, etc. I have another set of Y values that correspond to the X values. If this was an XY-scatter plot I'd be able to plot X vs. Y and connect the dots for "gaps" in the X values. Since it's a pivot chart I cannot use an XY-scatter plot, I can only use a line chart. The line chart doesn't give me the ability to add the "missing" values, so it gives the impression that my data is more closely packed than it is. The data source is external to my spreadsheet, so I cannot add the values before creating the pivot table/chart.
I got a set of data which is only 2 colums collecting data problems. The output i get is a time stamp and a fault. Im looking to set a chart up with the time been on the X - axis and number of problems per hour on the Y - axis.
I am currently trying to manipulate date ranges for monthly and quarterly reports, and am having trouble doing this. I have attached a file with an example of what I would essentially need.
I would need the "Nbr of Projects", "Nbr of Days worked", "Nbr of International Projects" and "Nbr of Local Projects" cells filled in under each respective report, based on the data in the top left.
If a project falls in two months, such as "18.12.2008 to 15.01.2009", this would be treated as 1 project for December and 1 project for January. Also, I would need only "NETWORKDAYS" included in the solution, so 11 days in this example.
