HELP

- Modify the GREEN cells and the WBS, Tasks, and Task Lead columns. The rest of the columns are formulas.
- The number of weeks shown in the gantt chart is limited by the maximum number of columns available.
- The Start Date that you choose determines the first week in the gantt chart, starting on a Monday.
- Change the first day of the week via cell K8
- Use the slider to adjust the range of dates shown in the gantt chart.
- Only 34 weeks can be shown/printed at one time, because each week uses up 7 columns.

Q: How do I make Task 2 start the day after the end of Task 1?
Use the following formula for the start date of Task 2:
=EndDate+1
where EndDate is the reference to the cell containing the end date of task 1

Q: How do I add/insert tasks and subtasks?

Copy the entire ROW (or a group of rows) for the type of task(s) you want to add and then right-click on the row where you want to insert the new tasks, then select Insert Copied Cells.
Important Note: When inserting a new subtask after the last subtask or before the first subtask, you will need to update the formulas for calculating the Level 1 %Complete and Duration
(see below) to include the new subtask, because the ranges won't automatically expand to include the additional row.

Q: How do I calculate the %Complete for a Level 1 task based upon the %Complete of all of the associated subtasks?
Example: If Task 1 is on row 11 and the subtasks are on rows 12-15, use the following formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(F12:F15;G12:G15)/SUM(F12:F15)

Q: How do I calculate the Duration for a Level 1 task based upon the largest end date of a sub task?
Example: If the Level 1 task is on row 11 and the sub tasks are on rows 12-15, use the following formula
=MAX(E12:E15)-D11

Q: How can I include holidays in the calculation of the Working Days?

You can add a list of holidays to exclude in the NETWORKDAYS function. See the help on that function.

Q: How do I change the print settings?

Select the entire range of cells that you want to print and then define a Print Range in the Format menu. Then go to Format > Page and select the Sheet tab. Adjust the Scaling mode as
desired.
