Hello and thanks in advance for any help you might be able to offer me.

I have created a spreadsheet to manage ongoing tasks. There are three
main
things from the spreadsheet I would quite like to be able to chart and
monitor - start date and end date for each task as well as the task name.
I
envision the x axis as a timeline and task names along the y axis. Each
task
would have its own vertical space and horizontal bar to start at the start
date of the task and to finish at the end date of the task.

The benefit of the chart would be to see how many things we are doing at
once/back to back/etc.

Thanks for any assistance you can offer!
