Thought I would see how to do this but need help.

I want to show a horizontal bar that begins at time T1 and ends at time T2
(yes, the X-axis would be time of day). The y-axis value would be the
name
of the event. For this data (already in Excel), the event name is unique
as
there is only one set of data per name.

How can this be done in Excel? (2003 or 2007)
Thanks!
