Gantt Charts

Hello! I'm looking to create a spreadsheet where I can add project management tasks, who is responsible for those tasks and status in the left columns. For each task, I'd like to have a start date and an end date. Once both dates are entered, I'd like excel to 'spit' them out into a Gantt Chart. This would enable me to quickly update my project management doc as well as my gantt chart, without having to spend time in a Word doc and then transferring the info to an excel doc.

Many thanks!

RE: Gantt Charts

Hi Meghan,

Thank you for your question.

Do you mean export your excel data to ms Project?

If so, you can use the Import Data Wizard within ms Project. In Project you do File, Open and change the Files of Type to Excel.

This will then start the Import Wizard.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Quickly copy a formula across sheets

Suppose you have a formula in cell Sheet1!B2, say =A1*5%, that you wish to copy to cell B2 on Sheet2, Sheet3 and Sheet4. Instead of using copy and paste, try this: (1) Select Sheet1!B2. (2) Group Sheet1 with the worksheets Sheet2, Sheet3 and Sheet4 by holding down Ctrl and clicking on the tabs of the sheets to group them. (3) Press the F2 key, then immediately press Enter to copy the formula in Sheet1!B2 across the grouped sheets.

Remember to ungroup the sheets afterwards! Right-click on any tab and choose Ungroup Sheets to do that.
