how do I add a calendar view in a Dashboard?
Hello - I have searched the community and have found a "work-around", but it doesn't work. I am trying to show a calendar view of a clients project on a client dashboard. I only want them to be able to see it. I don't want them to have any any interaction, just see it as a reference. Is this possible? Thank you. Jef

Weekend Workaround in Gantt Charts?
Hi Team, Has anyone found a workaround for not being able to pull dependancies from a separate sheet? I have projects running where some tasks are "in office" (5 day work week) and some tasks are "in field" (7 day work week).

Flexible Duration value when calculating scheduling dates
It would be useful for the Duration to be dynamic (e.g. linking cell to a cell in another sheet or to contain a formulae) as part of the scheduling calculation to automatically derive the start/end dates for tasks in a Gantt Chart. It is quite common in a construction project for the Duration element of a task to be based…

Multiple Critical Paths in Single Project
The last task/activity in my project plan is not the "end" of the project, or at least not the end that we care about for reporting purposes. I work in pharma, and our project sheets are tracking toward their NDA submissions, which is the "end" of the project that everyone cares about when it comes to executive reporting…

Repeating columns on Gantt chart on all sheets
I don't see where this has been brought up in the last 12 months, but a simple but helpful feature for Gantt charts would be to be able to select columns on the left that would repeat on each page of a multipage Gantt chart regardless of the scale used for the chart. For example a 12 month schedule could be broken into…

Start/Finish Date Updates based on Status - Gantt Charts
I have a Gantt Chart that my company uses to track a multi-step process. In this process, Step 2 cannot begin until Step 1 is completed, Step 3 cannot begin until Step 2 is complete, etc.. Each step normally takes 2 weeks (and this is what we have in the Duration column), but due to the number of moving pieces it can…

The today line should be visible when a report is added to a dashboard in Gantt view. This is a very necessary reference point for a dashboard.
