Date Cells (H6:GU7) These cells power much of the conditional formatting and allow the project plan to "float." All the cells are indirectl referenced to cell G6, which can be set to a firm date (ex. 2/1/2010) or a reference (ex. =MIN([project dates])). Adjusti G6 will shift the entire calendar.
Task Cells (A10:F40) The tasks have three levels, deliverable, task and sub task. Each has a different conditional format in the Gantt char
Deliverable Sections The deliverable section(s) (ex. 15:19) can be copied and pasted as rows to add new deliverable sections below the e sections if needed. Within each deliverable section you can add additional room for tasks by inserting a row above the light blue row (e This way the appropriate conditional formatting is added and no formulas are compromised.
Task s By entering a task in the B column the conditional formatting will make the associated bar a medium blue. By enter task in the C column the associated bar will be light blue. The bar is shown via conditional formatting based on the dat entered (Cols D:E) cross referenced with the calendar across the top. Task dependence/precedence can be managed by creating formulas between the data cells instead of firm dates (e =E11+5 vs. 2/10/2010).
Special Events (B2:E7) Functionality was added to allow for up to five "special events" that will highlight the background color. This was in for non-task events that may need to be included.
Misc. - There is a current date indicator that will show the current date on the Gantt chart. - The Gantt chart bars and the task list will highlight according to % complete status. - The Page Setup includes repeating rows of 2:9 and repeating columns of A:G. To print a small section of the chart s select the area of the Gantt chart (ex. H10:AZ41) and set it as the Print Area. - Hypothetically additional days can be added to the calendar by copy and inserting columns to the left of Column G sure to check that the formulas in 6:7 and 4:5 have been copied appropriately.

Version Initial Version: - Six month view - Floating calendar via conditional formatting - Special events (5) with background fill - Deliverable, task and sub-task levels - Current day indicator Added % complete status for tasks - Added highlighting of Gantt chart bars for % complete - Added highlighting of tasks that are behind plan
