Conditional Formatting applied to Gantt View?

Is there a way to apply the conditional color formatting to the Gantt View bar itself?

Hi Nate,

In the conditional formatting dialog you have the option of choosing the color of the gantt task bar.

You can find more info here:

I should of been more specific, is there any way to apply the conditional formatting to the Gantt bar without setting it for the 'entire row', it seems that the Task Bar option disappears when I select only a few cells that I want the formatting to apply to.

Hi @natemcwhorterHelix

You're correct, you'll need to select "Entire Row" for the Task Bar to appear because it is not limited to specific columns. If you have other formatting rules based on the same conditions that you want to apply to only certain columns, you'll want to create two rules with the same conditions but different outputs.

Here's more information around Changing the Color of Task Bars.
