Default Gantt Charts with a Slight Twist

Hi,

having EXACT the same problem,

have you some new insights in the meantime ?

at the moment i'm drawing the Excel-sheet field by field resp. range by
range "by hand" and replacing that with a chart should be faster ...

Why oh why there is no sample like that you've done or even better like that
the one shown in John Walkenbach book (Excel charts) on page 258 / Figure
8-18 but with the bars sideways ...

What a pity. ...

Also desperately waiting ...

best regards from germany

Hi,

I've seen some examples of creating gantt charts by massaging the data
provided to chart objects. I'm trying to create the following gantt
chart:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/2505768/Gantt-Chart2

The actual data I have may have varied delays in between activities.
Each delays are different for each project. There may also be breaks
within an activity. The problem with my current approach is that these
are unbounded and representing them as a cell based sparse matrix as I
have done in that link is inefficient. Has anyone done something
similar or have an example where an efficient sparse matrix
representation is passed to the the chart generating code?

Cheers,
