Gantt Chart in Microsoft Excel
Many people have never heard of a Gantt chart. Simply put, a Gantt chart is a bar chart that provides a visual view of tasks scheduled over time. A Gantt chart is used for planning projects of all sizes, and it is a useful way of showing what work is scheduled to be done on a specific day. It can also help you view the start and end dates of a project in one simple chart.

The vertical axis of a Gantt chart shows the tasks that need to be completed, while the horizontal axis represents time. As you input tasks, their start dates, their end dates, and their dependencies, bars will populate, which represent task durations.
