Is it possible to change colors within the same row with multiple start/end dates using Gantt Chart?

Kari Rice

I am working on a scheduling sheet and have different dates of occurrences on the same row. I would like to have the different dates highlighted in different colors. I am currently manually doing this procedure in Excel. Most of the information I have come across requires each task be on a new line and I would really like to keep everything on the same line.

Example:

Arrive Date: 1/1/22 Start Date: 1/15/22 End Date: 1/30/22 Clean Up: 2/5/22

I would like Arrive Date through Start Date to be "green", Start Date through End Date "yellow" and End Date through Clean Up Date "blue".

That is not currently possible in Smartsheet. Feel free to look through the Ideas topic to see if anyone has made the suggestion before. If they have then vote for it. If they have not then feel free to submit the idea as your own to let Smartsheet know that you would be interested in that functionality.
