Default How do I read a table and taken action?

Thanks for your response. I appreciate your help.

I did check the MS Excel example your referenced. It does not quite do the
job. I need to show all Project tasks in a single row . For the sample data
below, the result would appear in 2 rows. I don't believe the referenced
example can do this - but I am ready to be convinced otherwise.

Thanks again.

How can I do this with or without Macro/VB code?

I want to create a Gantt Chart like graphic by coloring a grid (columns 1-52
weeks, rows dictated by number of Projects). The Design task would be colored
red, Install Hardware blue etc. Each project would have 1 row (only) where
Design, Install Hardware etc would be colored in the appropriate cells on the
grid (Project1 Design task would show in 26th cell in the row, Install
Hardware 37th thru 40th)

Note I will create the data from MS Project, but I need to present it
succinctly in Excel for my client.



ProjectID TaskID Start Week Duration

Project1 Design 26 1
Project1 Install Hardware 37 4
Project1 Install Software 41 4
Project1 Configure 49 1
Project1 Prep 50 2
Project1 Support 52 1

Project2 Design 2 1
Project2 Install Hardware 15 2
Project2 Install Software 17 3
Project2 Configure 20 1
Project2 Prep 21 1
Project2 Support 22 4
