Title: Issue with Gantt Chart Visualization
Post by: DavidJohnstonAU on 06 Oct 2016 08:53:53 PM
Morning,

I suspect this is a pretty easy question - but I've followed what I have been able to find online about the new Gantt Chart Visualization without much luck.

I just can't get any tasks to show on the visualization, or a date range scale. 

In the attachement (MS WOrd) I have included three images - the tablular data, data items used in the visualization and the output.  Anyone able to give a lead on what I have incorrect?  Thanks for your help.

That attachment seems to reference a real company and a real person working at that company along with project initiatives and dates. Internal company information does not belong on a public forum. I suggest you remove it immediately and review the forum etiquette (http://www.cognoise.com/index.php/topic,24030.0.html) post paying particular attention to point 6.

As for your issue, how are you computing the start and finish figures to get days since 1970-01-01? What is the aggregation setting on those query items? I think your project names are a bit too long to work well with the visualization although I don't think that would prohibit it from functioning. You could try truncating or creating a smaller synopsis.
