This file is a sample Gantt Chart that accompanies the article How to Make a Gantt Chart in Excel by Michele McDonough.  It was developed using the 2007 version of Excel but saved as an Excel 97-2003 Workbook so that it could be used in older versions of the software.  Feel free to download it and modify it for your own project management usage.

Improvement
Days remaining calculation can be improved with the following calculation (sample for the first row of the spreadsheet):

=IF(ISNUMBER(C7),MIN(c7-b7,c7-B$4)+0.49,0)

The ISNUMBER function allows the formula to work in a blank line without creating strange results.

The +.49 allows a task completed the same day it is started to show up on the chart while still showing zero days remaining, if you show zero decimal places.

The MIN function allows the chart to show the true time remaining in the task for tasks that have not yet started.

RE: Francis
Hi Francis,
What version of Excel are you using? Even though this was saved as a doc file, it was created in Excel 2007 -- so some of the functionality may not be work in older versions of the software.

Gnatt Chart in Excel
Thanks Michele,
I will use this on a project at work. MS Project is too expensive for me to buy, and this meets my needs. Good work.
Cheers,

For Small Schedule
This is very useful for small schedule with less number of line items. Appreciate it.

This can be used to present the milestone schedule.

For a real project schedule wiht lot of dependencies, I would prefer Microsoft Project Plan or such tools.
