Default In a GANTT, how do I get diff projects to start later on chart

I want to show a flow of projects, by date. When one stops, the other starts
or maybe the next starts a couple days before. How do you set up the GANTT
to show the stepping effect. Currently all I can get it to do is all
projects start at the same time. Thanks for the help

A project bar in a Gantt chart is the stacked bar defined by a start date and a
duration. To make a bar start later, give it a later start date. You should be able
to use formulas to relate a later start to the earlier starting date and duration of
another bar.
