Gantt view - exclude parent rows?

Pat Deignan

Can parent rows be excluded when using the Gantt view? I'd like the option of viewing the Gantt chart with just the sub-tasks and not the overall parent bar.

Hi @Pat Deignan

Yes, it can.

You could use a so-called helper column to determine the level and then use a filter only to show all but parent rows.

Something like this. You can call the helper column, Level.

=IF(COUNT(CHILDREN([Task Name]@row)) > 0, COUNT(ANCESTORS()) + 1)

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic day & Happy New Year!
