Default Graph to create a Gant Chart

Here's my data:

Task Start Date Duration (in days)
------ ------------ --------------------
A 01-Dec-2005 1
B 02-Dec-2005 3
C 05-Dec-2005 4
D 09-Dec-2005 2

What I'm hoping I can create in excel is a basic graph (in the form of a
basic Gant Chart) that would have the X-axis be the 'Date', the Y-axis
represent the task, and the plotted data be a 'floating' horizontal bar graph
of duration.

For example... Task 'A' would be the highest bar on the Y-axis, starting on
Dec. 1 extending horizontally rightwards for 1 day. Then, the bar below 'A'
would be Task 'B', starting on Dec. 2nd, and extending rightwards for 3 days,
and so on.

Is this possible would excels graphing wizard?

Many thanks for the assistance.
