FAQ
Does it use macros?
No. The bars are conditional formatting, so the file opens safely in Excel and Google Sheets.
Can I show more than eight weeks?
Yes. Copy the last timeline columns to the right; the formatting rules follow the same pattern.
Are weekends counted in durations?
Yes, durations are calendar days. For working days only, add the weekend days to each duration.
