Below is a recent screencast I recorded showing how to build a project timeline (gannt chart style) using MS Excel. It’s simple and easy and works great for porting it around to other office apps (eg. Word, PowerPoint). Let me know if you have questions by posting a comment and enjoy!

Well done mate… you freakin rock!!!
Was looking for something like this for a while now!!! Keep up the good work!

Great tutorial. Do you know how to do this with older versions of Excel? My company has 2003 and I cant figure out for the life of me how to recreate that same format in it.
Any help would be appreciated, as I have a project that I want to use it for.
Is there a specific problem you’re facing when attmpting to do this in Excel 2003? I don’t have a instance of that running anywhere but if you have a specific problem I could try to help guide you through it…
How do I do this to take into account of weekend?
Excellent tutorial. You win the award for the most amount of useful information in the least amount of time. Exactly what I was looking for.
