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

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?

Overall I like this but the option to input the progress bar would be great if it is added to chart section as well.
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
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.
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.
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.
Tino Ardhyanto AR –
Super! Very good and easy to use
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

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!
Mohamed –
Simple and reliable!
Shetye –
Simple and Effective template which I was looking for..Off course team is cooperative and efficient. Thanks.
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!
