Sheet: Gantt Chart Visual

This sheet creates a graphical representation of the project timeline. It uses Excel’s built-in charting features to generate a horizontal bar chart where each task appears as a progress bar aligned with calendar dates.

The Gantt Chart is driven by data from the Task List and dynamically updates when changes are made. The visual includes:

Calendar axis (daily, weekly, or monthly intervals)
Task bars indicating start and end dates
Color-coded progress bars (e.g., green for complete, yellow for in progress)
Labeled task names on the left side of the chart

Formulas Required

All formulas are built using standard Excel functions to maintain compatibility and editability. Key formulas include:

Duration (Days): =IF(End_Date<>"", End_Date - Start_Date + 1, "")
Progress Bar Width (for Gantt Chart): Used in the chart series to calculate how far a task has progressed. Formula: =Progress% * Duration.
Overdue Indicator: =IF(AND(Status<>"Completed", Start_Date


    Next Due Task: Finds the next upcoming task using: =MIN(IF(STATUS="To Do", Start_Date))



Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and enable quick identification of critical tasks, several conditional formatting rules are applied:


    Overdue Tasks: If the current date is past the task’s Start Date and status is not "Completed", the row turns red.
    Pending High-Priority Tasks: Rows with Priority = "High" and Status = "To Do" are highlighted in yellow.
    Progress Bars: The Gantt bar color changes based on progress percentage—green when 100%, amber at 50%, red if below 25%.
    Upcoming Deadlines: Tasks due within the next 3 days are highlighted in orange.
