Gantt Chart has some lines that are all gray

Brent Hetland

Hi,

 

I am using a fairly simple Gantt chart. it has 15 task rows in it. All tasks contain a Start and Due Date.

The only indentation I'm using, is that I've got a "Project Launch and End Dates" row as my first row, and I've got all 15 rows under that, indented.

 

The first 6 rows of the Gantt chart look normal. I see the "calendar-like grid " with cells for the days of the week in each row.

 

PROBLEM:

Starting with the 7th row, the Gantt chart rows are all grey and they have no cells for the days of the week. When I compare these tasks in the table to the first 6 tasks (those tasks relate to the gantt chart rows that look correct), I don't see any difference. Again, all tasks contain the same type of data.

 

I've search the community and support and help and don't find out what I've done wrong.

 

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

 

Thanks,

Brent

Hi Brent,

Am I seeing check marks on all of those rows? Could there be some conditional formating using the check mark to gray it out?

Just and idea.

Peace

Thanks, but there are check marks on ALL of the rows that show correctly (without the solid gray rows). There are check marks on SOME of the rows that show gray and no check marks on other rows that show gray.

No, conditional formatting isn't causing it...

Hi Brent-- This definitely looks weird! Can you try selecting all the affected rows and changing the background color to white? Let me know if this doesn't resolve the issue.

Hi Kennedy,

Ugh, that was weird.  I changed the background color to Automatic and that fixed it. The things that tripped me up were:

- If I inserted a row into that range that was gray, it would look correct, until

- I entered text in the Task Name cell, and then the Gantt Chart row would turn gray but not the table / grid row.

 

Anyway, I don't believe I ever changed the background color to gray in any rows, but that seems to have been the problem.

 

Thanks Much!

Brent
