Is there a way I can count all the tasks in a gantt chart that occur on any day in a project?
Hi all,
I have a project Gannt chart with several hundred tasks. I have a column that identifies which are actual tasks (not roll-up summary tasks). Is there a way I can count the number of tasks that fall on any particular day from the start to the end of the project, to build a 'number of tasks per day' histogram over the project's duration?
Thanks in advance for any guidance,
John

You would start with a separate sheet that has ever day listed down a date type column. Then you would use a COUNTIFS with cross sheet references to count how many rows in your project plan are marked as actual tasks, have a start date less than or equal to the date in the date column, and an end date greater than or equal to the date in the date column.
