This is a blank GANTT-style worksheet for informal planning. Basically, I print this out

Weeks are numbered using the ISO convention

If you want to change the start date, type the new date into cell D3. The ribboncalendar will automatically update.

If you want to add more items to the list, select the entire row by clicking the ROW NUMBER as designated (row 18 , where it says "select this entire row").Right-click and choose INSERT from the menu. If it says "Insert Cells" or somethinglike that you have to clear the currect selection by hitting the ESC key.

change the starting week here v

< select this entire row, right-click to insert more space

like graph paper. I turn on PRINT GRID LINES and REPEAT TOP AND LEFT columns.

To add more columns, you will need to extend the date information in row 6,which holds the dates from which all formatting rules draw. You'll also need toextend the CONDITIONAL FORMATTING rules ranges (look it up).

To group rows, use the DATA menu and group/ungroup as shown. There are expansionicons on the left-hand side of the screen.

To print, make a selection of what part you'd like printed, and when you go to the PRINT dialog box, make sure you're printing the SELECTION and not the worksheet.Use PRINT PREVIEW to make sure tht it looks right.

please read the "Date Formatting Strings" worksheet and adjust the value(s) there.

Enjoy!Dave Seah 8/12/2011

If you are using a non-English version of Excel and the dates are not formatting correctly,

LOCAL SPECIFIC DATE STRINGSHaving trouble displaying dates correctly?

Excel's Text() function, which is used extensively to auto-format the spreadsheet, uses "text format strings" to translatea date into other representations. However, these text format strings are locale-dependent. For example, in the USAthe function Text(A1,"MMM") will return the three-letter month acronym (e.g. "MAR" for March) for a date value.

To get around this problem without writing macros, I'm storing the format strings here for use in the main worksheet.When you change these values, the "Blank Sheet" and "Example Sheets" will update.

three day month mmm change to your locale string (see your Excel documentation for Text() function and dates)

For example, in Turkish, the appropriate strings are:three day month mmm
