HELP
Version: Gantt Chart Template for Office 365 - FREE Version
Intro
This Gantt Chart spreadsheet is designed to to help you create a simple project schedule. You
only need to know some basic spreadsheet operations, such as how to insert, delete, copy and
and paste rows and cells. For more advanced uses, such as defining task dependencies, you
will need to know how to enter formulas.
Be sure to read the Getting Started Tips below. Watching the video demos for Gantt Chart Template
Pro may also help you see how to use the spreadsheet.

Getting Started Tips
- Input cells for defining the task dates and durations have a light green background.
- [ Bracketed Text ] is meant to be edited, like the project title and task descriptions.
- Some of the labels include cell comments to provide extra help information.
- The Project Start Date determines the first week shown in the gantt chart.
- To adjust the range of dates shown in the gantt chart, change the Display Week.
- To insert a new task, insert a new row, then copy/paste a row from the selection of template
rows at the bottom of the worksheet, depending on how you want to define the task.
- If you see "#####" in a cell, widen the column to display the cell contents.
- Backup your file regularly to avoid losing data! Excel files get corrupted occasionally.
Using the Template Rows and Choosing a WBS Level
Inserting New Tasks.
1. Insert a new blank row where you want the new task to be.
2. Copy the entire row you want to use from the set of template rows.
3. Paste the row you copied on top of the new row you just inserted.
4. Copy and paste the WBS cell separately, based on the level (1, 1.2, 1.2.3, [Link])
Important: When inserting new rows, you must copy and paste an entire row, because the cells of
the Gantt chart area are formulas.
Changing the WBS Level in the WBS Column
- The WBS numbering uses a different formula for each level, but the formula does not reference any
other cell in the row. So, you can copy and paste just the WBS cell that you want to use.
- If you leave a blank cell above a WBS number, the numbering will reset to 1.x.x. The formulas are
meant for convenience, but you can manually enter them if you need to.
- You can indent the task description for sub-tasks by entering leading spaces or using the Indent
feature in Excel.
Category Tasks
- You can use tasks that are just labels, but it may be useful for a category task to display the
minimum Start date and maximum End date of its sub tasks. This can be done using
=MIN(range_of_startdates) and =MAX(range_of_enddates).
Creating Task Dependencies
- You can enter the Start date manually, or define task dependecies using a formula. Below are the
most common options for defining the Start date:
A. Enter the date manually (e.g. 1/3/2015)
B. Reference the Project Start Date (e.g. =$E$4 )
C. Set the Start date to the next Work Day after another task's End date.
- Use the formula =WORKDAY(enddate,1) where enddate is the reference to the End date of a
predecessor task.
=MAX(WORKDAY(enddate1,1),WORKDAY(enddate2,1))
D. Set the Start date to the next Calendar Day after another task's End date.
- This formula is very simple: =enddate+1
- For multiple predecessors, the formula would be =MAX(enddate1,enddate2,enddate3 )+1
E. Set the Start date to a number of days before or after another date.
- This formula is just like the one in C or D, except that in place of the "1" you enter the number of
days, such as =WORKDAY(enddate,5) or =WORKDAY(startdate,-5)
E. Use the Predecessor column to start the day after another task

[ This feature is only in the PRO version, but if you are familiar with conditional formatting, you could
try doing this yourself. ]

FAQs
Q: How do I enter the Work Days instead of Calendar Days?
Entering work days instead of calendar days is one of the main features of the Pro version. If you
want to figure it out on your own, use the WORKDAY() function to define the End Date and
calculate the Calendar Days based on the Start and End dates.
Q: How do I calculate the %Complete for an entire category of tasks?
The %Complete for a category task can be calculated from its sub tasks using the formula below,
where "workdays" is a reference to the range of work day values and "complete" is a reference to
the %complete for each of the subtasks.
=SUMPRODUCT(workdays,complete)/SUM(workdays)
Example: =SUMPRODUCT(G9:G15,I9:I15)/SUM(G9:G15)
Let's say you have 3 sub tasks that are 10 days, 12 days, and 14 days long, respectively. If the
first subtask is 50% complete and the others are 25% complete, you could calculate the overall
percent complete for the group as: =(10*50%+12*25%+14*25%)/(10+12+14).
Q: How do I change the Print Settings? (Excel 2010, 2013)
Select the entire range of cells you want to print and go to File > Print Area > Set Print Area.
Then go to File > Page Setup or File > Print Preview and adjust the Scaling, Marings, and
Page Orientation as desired.
Q: The Start date, End date, or %Complete for a Level 1 task is wrong. How do I fix it?
When using =MIN(), =MAX(), and =SUMPRODUCT(), it is easy for the references to get messed
up if you move rows around or insert new rows. You should verify and fix these formulas if they are
not referencing the correct ranges.
Example: The image below shows that the MIN() function is not referencing all of the sub tasks.
Q: I've messed up the chart area somehow. How do I fix it?
Find a row that works, then copy the cells that make up the gantt chart area from that row into the row
that is messed up.
