EX-03-29 – Build a Dynamic Gantt Chart Using Conditional Formatting

In this grand finale, we turn Excel conditional formatting into a full-fledged visual scheduling tool by building a dynamic Gantt chart—no add-ins, no macros, just formulas and formatting. This approach combines AND logic with date comparisons to create responsive horizontal bars that visually represent start and end dates across a project timeline. Even better, we layer in additional logic using WEEKDAY functions and conditional rules to apply weekend shading, highlight key activity blocks, and differentiate overlapping tasks. If you’ve ever asked what is Excel conditional formatting capable of beyond basic highlighting, this is the answer. Learn how to conditional format in Excel to create timeline charts that dynamically respond to changes in your start or end dates. Using custom conditional formatting formula structures, you’ll simulate the functionality of tools like Microsoft Project—entirely within a worksheet. Whether you're tracking deadlines, staging resource timelines, or building simple project visuals, this technique gives you enterprise-grade clarity with zero licensing cost. You’ll finish this lesson understanding how to use Excel conditional formatting not just as a formatting tool, but as a full project visualization engine.
