This step-by-step Numbers Gantt chart tutorial explains how to make professional Gantt charts inside the popular spreadsheet app for Mac.

Professionals who need to create a Gantt chart in Apple's Numbers can do so using the tool’s Bar Chart feature and some manual formatting. However, since the software lacks a built-in Gantt feature and its templates are primarily designed for summarizing data such as home budgets, checklists and invoices, it may limit one's ability to generate more accurate, easy-to-follow visuals for purposes such as presentations to clients and managers.

How to make a Gantt chart in Numbers

1. List your project data in a table

  1. Open Numbers and select the Charting Basics category under the Basic section of the Template Gallery.

    Click on the “+” tab on the far-left side of the Charting Basics ribbon to create a new sheet.

  2. In the newly added sheet, there will be a default table where you can input your data. Enter the key phases of your project (called project tasks) in the first column of the table as in the image below. Since the task descriptions will be displayed on the vertical axis of your chart, it’s recommended that you keep them as short as possible to ensure they'll be clearly visible.

  3. In the second column, add the start week for each of the project phases, using the first task (which will start in week 1) as the reference point for the rest of the tasks. This will help outline the span of the horizontal axis when you start building your graphic. I have included a second table in the image below to better illustrate how I calculated the start time series for my chart.

  4. Use the next column to list each task's duration (number of weeks required to complete that task). In the second table below, you can see my calculations for the duration series.

2. Create a basic graphic setting it up as a 2D Stacked Bar Chart

  1. Select all the data in your table and then go to Insert → Chart on the Numbers ribbon.

  2. Select 2D Stacked Bar from the menu that appears.

    Numbers will automatically generate a simple stacked bar chart that looks like the one below:

3. Format your graphic to turn it into a Gantt

Now that your basic stacked bar graphic is created, you will need to make a few edits to turn it into a Gantt. The main thing to change is to make the blue bars transparent so that only the green ones remain visible. The latter will represent your tasks. To do this:

  1. Click on any of the blue bars. This will select the whole series.

  2. Select the Style tab from the Format pane on the right side of your sheet.

  3. Click on the color indicator next to Fill and select No Fill.

    The resulting Gantt chart should look like this:

4. Customize your Gantt chart

At this point, your Gantt is ready for a few customizations if you want to make it look more unique.

  1. Customizing your task bars

    i.To change the color of all your tasks simultaneously, select any of them, go to the Style tab in the Format pane and click on Fill, where you can choose whichever color you prefer. In my example, I picked a dark purple.

    ii.If you want to color the chart bars individually, you need to redistribute your tasks into different categories. To do so, first add several columns after “Duration”, as in the following image. Each of these will generate a distinct hue that you can later customize from the Style tab (as shown earlier). Then, cut the duration value of the task you intend to recolor and paste it in whichever of the newly added columns, keeping the same row. You can see how I set up the new colors for my graphic below:
    Note: The tasks that have their duration values in the same column are seen as a single category and customized simultaneously, while those with the duration values placed in different columns will be considered as distinct series, and you'll be able to recolor them individually.

    iii.While in the Style section, you can also choose to apply various styles and effects to your tasks, such as strokes and shadows, but I recommend keeping these to a minimum so your chart remains legible. For instance, I added only a straight black outline to the bars using the Stroke feature. Since I kept a multicolored graphic, I selected all my bars first (Shift + Click) to make sure the Stroke effect is applied collectively.

    iv.If you want to display each task’s corresponding duration on the chart, select all of the bars and go to Value Labels within the Series tab. Click on the arrow on the left and select 'Same as Source Data'.

  2. Customizing the chart area

    To personalize your graphic even further, you can make some changes to the chart area using the Format pane's Chart tab. Before getting started, first make sure your graphic is selected.

    i.Add borders and titles: Check the box for Border and Title under Chart Options. In my example, I also unchecked the box for Legend, as I found it to be redundant for my Gantt.

    ii.Customize fonts: You can change the font type and size for the entire graphic under Chart Font, as shown in the picture below. In my example, I changed the font to Helvetica and I increased its size.
    Note: To customize the chart title or the task descriptions separately, simply double-click on the desired element and make whatever changes you want from the small pane that pops up.

    iii.Adjust the space between the chart bars: Under the Gaps section of the Chart tab, use the up-down controls to increase or decrease the space between your tasks. I increased the gap percentage to 80% for my chart (see image below).

    iv.Apply a background to the graphic: Under Background & Border Style, click on the arrow next to No Background Fill and select Color Fill from the drop-down menu to get access to a color palette. In my example, I used a light shade of grey called Mercury for the background.

    v.Finally, to make it easier to see the relative distance between tasks, I've added more vertical gridlines. To do the same, select the Axis tab of the Format pane, go to Minor Gridlines and click on the type of gridline you want to add. I chose the second type, with a size of 0,5 points.

    After completing all the steps above, trying out several font sizes and styles, and increasing the width of the chart area, my final Gantt chart in Numbers looks like this:

How to make a Gantt chart online automatically

Manually building a Gantt chart in Numbers is possible, but the tool’s limited customization options (for example, not being able to color tasks individually) can make it difficult to create more professional visuals and update them for recurring business or project communications.

Professionals who want to build Gantt charts more easily and apply more refined custom changes to their visuals can do so using Office Timeline Online . The browser-based tool lets you automatically create an eye-catching graphic, update it quickly as plans change, and download it as a .pptx file or .png image.

1. Enter your project's data in Office Timeline Online

  1. From the New tab in Office Timeline Online, click on Timeline from scratch or choose one of the templates provided to start building your Gantt chart. To save time, you can also import an existing schedule from Excel. In my example, I chose to make a new Gantt chart from scratch.

    After clicking the Timeline from scratch button, you will be taken to the Data View, which allows you to enter and edit data.

  2. In the Data View, list your task descriptions and dates - Office Timeline will instantly generate your graphic and show you a live preview of it on the right. You can also make a few quick styling choices here in the Data tab, such as choosing the shape and color for each task. Once ready, select the Timeline tab on the Office Timeline Online ribbon or click the thumbnail image on the top right to go to the Timeline View, where you can see your Gantt chart in full size and customize it further.

then make the first row a header row by using the contextual menu for the row:



Then add the formula in the column for 'Balance'

E2=IF(D2<>', SUM($D$2:D2), ')


this is shorthand for... select cell E2 then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:

=IF(D2<>', SUM($D$2:D2), ')


to fill down, select cell E2, copy

now select cells E2 thru the end of column E, paste
