Leila I am a big fan of your videos. I have subscribed to your Udemy course on management dashboarding and I regularly follow all your videos on YouTube. Thank you so much for making these wonderful videos. Cannot tell you how grateful I am to you. It's as if every query on Excel I ever had, Leila already have them answered. Thank you very much :)

There was once a trend when high subscribers and viewership on youtube were only for creative content (tiktok type) and not educational ones like Leila's videos. You saw actor's channels having millions but educator's channels having thousands odd.

Then came internet revolution in India and educators on social media got their due. Indians around the world are known for their tech expertise. It is thanks to educators like Leila whose videos are such a boon acting as a pioneer for that expertise. Without Leila and others we would for sure achieve less compared to now. GRATITUDE for sharing your knowledge and taking efforts Leila. Hope your channel grown even more.

I am loving it and remain very grateful. I watched all 3 gant videos. I reused this one. Most useful to me. Managed all in one day.

To add the task names to the chart, you could add a fake series with the task numbers at y-values and zeroes at x-values. Using that series, you'd hide the markers and use custom data labels located at left of the series and pointed to the range with the task names.

I love the way you say "Eeks" for X :)

Hi. I use gantt charts almost daily. It is however important to show if an action is late and which is completed by means of color. So cell conditional formatting by means of numbers such as -1 for late, 1 for planned and 2 for completed, has always worked for me. I really like however the dynamic of your charts but it would come in very handy if you find out how to add three comparison, or more if possible cos sometimes managers want to see what was postponed or rescheduled. Overall, great great videos. The match-index function works like a charm, thank you very much for that one.

Great Video! I have worked through all the series on Gantt Charts, I am no expert but this makes for a nice Project Management Dashboard! If you crawl around all the MVPs channels its amazing the knowledge you all give away... That alone is what would make me consider buying for additional support (Besides the Views, the fact I like all videos and watch them at 50% Speed giving you some killer run time :) )
