Can I combine multiple rows into one row on a Gantt Chart?

Sam Ng · 05/19/20

Dear all,

I want to aggregate multiple project schedules into a master schedule. When copying the milestones from various projects into a single sheet, my overall Gantt Chart displays an event as a row, and each project occupies many rows. Is there any method to combine multiple rows into one row and use one row to present one project on Smartsheet?

Hi @Sam Ng

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to combine rows, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

As a possible workaround, you could maybe use a 3rd party service/integration.

Is that an option?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

This is from the smartsheet template site: https://www.smartsheet.com/content/project-timeline-templates

How can we create this, multiple milestones represented on a single line?

Hi @John Chun

It’s not possible in Smartsheet, but it might be by using the 3rd party service, Office Timeline.

https://www.smartsheet.com/marketplace/apps/office-timeline-smartsheet

Would that work?

I hope that helps!

Andrée,

Thanks for the suggestion to look into Office Timeline.

It's a little misleading thaty Smartsheet would show this timeline as an example template when it is not available.

Thanks for the reply/suggestion.

Stay well!

Happy to help!

Yes, maybe it could be made more clear that it's not in Smartsheet.

I find it astounding that this basic feature is not available. Have also submitted a feature request, but it appears this functionality has been requested for the past 4 years and still nothing.

@Andrée Starå the third party app you share is to generate timelines in powerpoint. How would you then suggest to integrate that timeline into a Smartsheet Dashboard?

Thanks

Tiffany

Hi @Tiffany Talsma

You can use the Web Content Widget to embed the Powerpoint.

More info.

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Any update on the ability to do combine project milestones into one line on a master schedule without add on software?
