Macro Gantt Chart

Hello,

I want to build a Gantt chart to show a project timeline. However, I want to make it available for the rest of the team to add tasks etc. Does anyone know how:

1) I am able to get the Gantt add in like I can see in some of the example charts I have seen?
2) How to create a 'form' people can fill out that then auto populates into the Gantt chart?
3) Any advice on a macro Gantt chart?

Thanks very much,
Dan

RE: Macro Gantt Chart

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for the forum question.

Excel can do everything (almost).

I do not know which add in you use, but you can create a gantt chart without a add in (please see link below)

The input form can be done with VBA only. Macros cannot create forms. It is complicated and you need VBA knowledge. We are creating userforms on our VBA intermediate course.

I have found a video which can make you get started.
