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…

Hello,

For example in the Categories column: Planing, Development, Deployment, Support and than again above Planing, Development, Deployment, Support etc…?
If if I do like this it does not work…

but how to make a timeline project
Hi Ben, this looks like a handy trick to quickly create a plan. However, the dates are calculated by addition, and this includes weekends. Is there some way we can make the dates weekday-only?
