Gantt Chart Maker
Gantt Charts from
Your Excel Workbook
Lay out your project tasks in Excel with a Start and End date per row. Graph Plotter turns it into a clean, presentation-ready Gantt chart in seconds.
What Your Excel File Needs
Graph Plotter's Gantt chart reads three columns directly from your Excel sheet:
Task
The name or label for each task or milestone.
Start
Start date. Accepts Excel date values or text in common date formats.
End
End date for the task. Same format as Start.
When to Use a Gantt Chart
- ✓ Project planning and milestone tracking
- ✓ Construction and engineering schedules
- ✓ Product roadmap visualisation for stakeholders
- ✓ Event planning timelines
- ✓ Research or clinical trial phase tracking
- ✓ Any report where tasks and time need to be visible together

The X-axis formats itself based on your date range — days, months, or years, whichever fits your project.
Customisable Labels & Title
Set a chart title and axis labels to match your project name and timeline units before exporting.
