How do I change the colours of the task bars in a Gantt Chart?

RE: MS Project

Hello Suki,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Project course with Best STL.

Thank you for your question regarding how to change the colours of the task bars in the Gantt Chart.

You can change each bar individually by right-clicking on the bar and choosing Format Bar. In the 'Middle' section change the colour accordingly. If you want to change the colour of all the bars then right-click in the chart area and choose Bar Styles. Select Task in the Name column and once again change the colour in the 'Middle' section.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Rodney

MS Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
