    Gantt chart that changes based on start date, duration of task and dependency

    I am looking to automate the attached excel spreadsheet so that it updates when the following cells are changed:
    - Start date
    - Task Duration (excluding weekends)
    - Dependency

    Is this possible to do in excel?

    Any input would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Try this formula in F3, then autofill for the rest

    =IF(AND(F$2>=$C3,F$2<=WORKDAY($C3,$D3)-1),TRUE,FALSE)

    Then you can apply some conditional formatting

    Thanks Smally,

    That works great for the tasks, but does not change the timeline of task based on a dependency.

    Is it possible to do that in excel?

    I don't know what you mean sorry. From what you provided the greyed cells did not seem to rely on dependency at all

    Re: Gantt chart that changes based on start date, duration of task and dependency

    Hello,

    I was hoping that the Gantt would change based on the dependency in column E.

    For example: Task 5 can't start until Task 4 is completed; Task 6 can't start until Task 3 is completed.

    Is there a way to automate this in excel?

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi Popopopo,

    Thank you for this.

    Can you clarify why Task 4 start date changed from the original date, when it does not have a dependency?

    Many thanks,
    Adam

    Re: Gantt chart that changes based on start date, duration of task and dependency

    My first interpretation was
    Task 2 start after Task 1 is finished.
    Task 3 start after Task 2 is finished.
    Task 4 start after Task 3 is finished.
    ...
    ...


    Now I see that is not exactly what you want.
