Gantt Chart Settings Not Applying

JSELLS · 01/10/19

Hi! I am trying to create a dashboard that has multiple gantt charts. I want the gantt chart to display from the current date, which is already an existing setting. I've checked the box on both my workspace, and the reports I am using on my dashboard, and for some reason the current date does not display. Has anyone run into this issue?

Hi,

Unfortunately, the settings on the report to open to today isn't reflected on the Dashboard, but it's a great idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

A possible workaround could be to have a formula on the sheet(s) that checks a box when it's in a specific interval.

See Bryans comment from this thread.

Actually, you can accomplish this by adding a new Column (I named it Today) which has to be a Date column. Then, create the =TODAY() formula in the top most cell, and then drag that cells contents all the way to the bottom of your SmartSheet. Then create a report where the When is looking at the newly created Column (I named it Today) and the Finish date. To simplify the report, the Today column should display when the data Is A Date which is an actual selection

This should show only the tasks from today with a finish date in the future. You can fine tune this by modifying the Finish date criteria. For instance, if you only want to see Tasks that have a Finish date in the next 60 days, the When in the Report builder would show Today: is a Date and Finish: Is In the Next 60 days.

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Best,
