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

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

You can use the Web Content Widget to embed the Powerpoint.
More info.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!
