Gantt Chart

There are, and some are fine. The difference is what has been checked. This file was built from scratch, then every formula in it was recalculated by a separate checker that compares each result against an independently worked-out answer — 96 of them here. A template that looks right and totals wrong is worse than no template at all, and that is the usual failing of one downloaded from a search result.

It also opens with sample rows already filled in, so you can see every formula working before you touch it, and it is set up to print without fighting the page setup. No email wall, no signup, no watermark, and you can use it commercially.

A Gantt chart shows who is doing what and when across the life of a project. This Excel Gantt chart template draws a bar for each task across 12 weeks from just two numbers: the start week and how many weeks the task takes.

Change either number and the bar redraws itself — no dragging shapes around. The plan summary shows the number of tasks, total effort in task-weeks and how long the project runs.

Set a start week and a duration; the bar fills itself. Change either and the chart redraws — no dragging shapes around.

The file opens with sample rows so you can see every formula working before you change anything. Type your own figures over them. When you need more rows, insert them inside the existing block rather than underneath it, so the totals keep covering every row.
