Planning Calendar conundrums

Andrée Starå

@Mary Vogt Excellent! You're more than welcome!

@mitchell.beness113091 Can you share some more details about how you'd want to use it?

Hi @Andrée Starå ,

I guess what I have is a list of activities that happen every month, quarter, half year and year.

These activities in some cases, extend of multiple periods.

What I would like is a "rolling" calendar that can almost pull these activities into a given gant calendar that extends into the foreseeable 18 months.

Right now, I need to take all my monthly tasks for example (I have ~25x) and copy past with dates 18x for each month. Then I need to do the same for my quarterly, half yearly and yearly activities.

Hope that makes sense!?

Ok.

Can you maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

Hi @Andrée Starå

So here is a couple of screen shots. First showing the yearly, half year, quarter, then second showing monthly. All of these activities repeat. As it stands, I am copy pasting the same actions and manually changing the dates in each quarter/year/month etc.

Is there a better way to automate the propagation of activities across dates in a sheet/gantt chart?

I have a few ideas!

I've created something similar for a client recently for a Daily need that might be able to update for your need.
