    Hello DBY,

    Thanks a lot indeed for your prompt reply. It is working as per the requirement.

    I am facing small problem now, which is on color for P & D..I just copy pasted the formula in my excel file & It gives P (progress) & D(delay) as per the requirement. But not giving the color code. that means only white color.

    Could you please suggest how to give the different color code for P & D?

    Thanks for your support in advance.

    BR,

    Re: Automatic Gantt Chart formula preparation

    Hello
    I've applied the formulas to your 'Project Name' sheet and it seems to be OK for me, so I'm not quite sure what the problem you are having is. One of your Start Dates is greater than the End Date, which I've indicated on the attached reply. If this does not solve the problem upload another example file highlighting the problem

    Re: Automatic Gantt Chart formula preparation

    Hello Vinod
    The Conditional formatting along M3:AA3 is quite straightforward and I've applied the formula. Not sure exactly what you want with the calendar but I've inserted a Calendar Control with some VBA code to insert the selected date into the Start Date range. This does mean, however, that the workbook has to be Macro Enabled.

    Please note that my VBA skills are limited, so I'm not sure how good the code is but it seems to work OK.

    Re: Automatic Gantt Chart formula preparation

    Hello Vinod
    I've amended your last file to omit the errors and made a few changes that you might find useful. I've included a new sheet with an alternative Gantt chart without the formulas in the cells, just conditional formatting, this would reduce the chances of formula errors appearing.

    Hope this helps.

    Re: Automatic Gantt Chart formula preparation

    Hello Vinod
    I'm keeping well, thank you, I hope you also. If I've understood you correctly, I think you could do this by either having formulas in a helper column and sorting on that, or by sorting the 3 columns with the Number filters option 'Between'. See attached. Just a note, although you original post in this thread was technically about charting this isn't, so it may have to be moved to another sub forum, General or Formulas and Functions perhaps.
