    I wished there was an online version of this template available.

    • Someka

      Hello there,
      Actually recently we made the Google Sheets version of this template. You can find it here.
      Hope it helps you.

  6. Javier

    It is really a nice and useful template.

  7. Lawrie

    nice to having a report depth filter. It’s great to see the summary gantt chart by just selecting “1” for report depth

  8. Bryon

    hi, there is no responsible position for the tasks on the ganttchart how can I add this column

    • Someka

      Hi Bryon,
      If you want to modify/change our files, you should purchase a modifiable version with single or multi-user licenses. After purchasing a modifiable version, we’ll send you a password. Then you’ll be able to unlock your sheets with that password and then make any modifications.

    • Bryon

      I don’t understand why the excel is locked with pasword

    • Someka

      Hi Bryon,

      Password protects some sections in our templates in order to prevent accidental changes users can make, like overwriting a formula or deleting a calculation column.

  9. melissa

    Hi! I have bought your Gantt Chart Maker V5 but in day view it has to narrow Column so dates with two digits ends up with ### on every update???

    • Someka

      Hello Melissa! Can you simply do this: Select dates column > Format Cells > Alignment tab > Checkbox “Shrink to Fit”. Just let us know if you still can’t get it!

      Shrink-To-Fit

  10. Willy Garrou

    my input stops working at row 32 which is 20 rows of input. it allows me to add to the cells, but nothing populates in the workdays cells or in the gantt chart after I click the update gantt chart button. will the gantt chart only allow 20 rows of input?

    • Someka

      Hi Willy,
      Thank you for reaching out.
      The Gantt Chart template needs the numbers of workdays for each task to populate.
      So please fill in the “Workdays” column for each task.
      Also note that the template will automatically correct your days even if you input a wrong one, as you’ve already given the start and end dates.
      Hope this helps!

  11. Mohamed Mostafa

    For a while, I am using your Gantt chart template for organizing my team in our current project. It helped me too much! I also need a financial model for financial services. Do you have any?

  13. Daryl

    Some time back I downloaded the Gantt chart maker. I created a couple Gantt charts that are now locked.
    How do I unlock them? I assume I need to subscribe to something. Would have been nice to know this ahead of time.
    Regards,

    • Someka

      Hi Daryl,

      You have already purchased the template so you don’t have to subscribe to anything to unlock it. You can have a look at this page to learn how you can unlock the template: How can I unlock the sheets? What is the password?

      If you don’t want to unlock the template each time you click the “Update Gantt Chart” button, please send your file to us to change it for you.

      For further questions please do not hesitate to contact us anytime.

      Kindly regards,

  14. Ariannapatel

    I moved all my projects from scratch to this Excel file because it was exactly what I wanted to see. Especially the advanced settings system is super flexible features with coloring, holidays and categorization!

  15. Emeryy90

    Sleek design, many features and the customer support helping to fix small tweaks has been awesome. the developer guy solved it very quickly. thanks.

  16. Lydia Benny2

    Overall I like this but the option to input the progress bar would be great if it is added to chart section as well.

  17. vivianMyers

    I just downloaded updated version. They provided it for free as they promised before my purchase. these guys did a wonderful job because:
    – It suits different projects of my company.
    – Best customer support I have ever seen. They react so fast and are really patient.
    – Thoughtful design, tons of features, flexibility

  18. josephinexx

    My research group has purchased this template now and it’s great! The documentation for the template is already really good and clear to understand but if you have any misc. questions, they are answered very quickly through chat.

  19. AlexaG

    Well designed template with great functionality. VBA knowledge required in order to fully customize the template which I wanted, but many features enough to get the results.

  20. JuliaSaa

    Pros: Honestly, I would not expect this! helped me prepare gantt charts for many things, detailed schedules for all my projects. If you want to create a Gantt chart without having to pay high for the complex programs, Excel is the best option because the everything from menu bars to structure are very familiar to you. It’s pretty easy to use once you understand the basics and you’ll never use another program again. Give it a shot, you have nothing to loose, really.

    Cons: Nothing. That’s great. That’s simple. That’s AMAZING! One thing I’d maybe say, it would be better if it has worked on Office365.

  21. Tino Ardhyanto AR

    Super! Very good and easy to use

  22. Nadya

    Recently, I purchased the someka gantt chart template, Generally, I like the template,
    But when I put my own project which is only 23 rows, unfortunately, the file size became 30.000 kb.
    so i cant send it to other 🙁 It creates me another separate work using sendspace etc . Help me

    • Someka

      Hello Nadya. File size gets larger if you choose to display very long time frames with small steps (eg. displaying a 10-year project with daily details)
      We have sent you an email with shrinked version for your specific case. Hope this helps!

    • Nadya

      Thnk you so much the Someka experts.
      The size is really much reduced. Awesome 🙂
      My original work plan has 3 components. The file i sent you is components-1,
      So i put another 2 components luckily the size is still OK around 9800

  23. pjbtran

    Everthing is ok but pls add more column!!!

  24. Latonia S.

    nice template which I can use with my Mac. Since I can not use Microsoft Project on my Mac this was very helpful.

  25. Kath Mitchell

    Lifesaver for my job. Very easy to work with. Thanks Someka!

  26. Yurena Montserrat

    You don’t have an Spanish version of the product!!

    • Someka

      Hi Yurena! With the purchase you get the passwords and modification rights for the templates. So you can modify lines to add the Spanish descriptions!

  27. Mohamed

    Simple and reliable!

  28. Shetye

    Simple and Effective template which I was looking for..Off course team is cooperative and efficient. Thanks.

  29. Steve Windley

    It could be a improvement to insert additional lines for the tasks, but company customized the template according to the way we needed it.

    • Someka

      Hello Steve! Thank you for your feedback! Technically, you can add lines easily by copy paste, but it would not be practical when you want to print it. So we are planning to add this new feature when you add lots of items in it and would like to print it to a second page! We will send the updated version to our current customers for free! Stay in touch!

  30. zakariya3292
