Hi Folks,

 

I want to put two colours on the same bar. Basically, I want to show where

  • Let’s say you have an activity scheduled (baselined) to start 1st Feb 2014 and finish 28th Feb 2014. Bar colour for the activity is green.
  • By 15th March 2014, activity has not finished and still has up to 30th March to complete

  

I want to show on the same bar as follows;

  • From 1st Feb (Baseline start) to 28th Feb (Baseline finish) bar colour RED
  • From 28th Feb (Baseline finish) to 15th March (Current Data Date) bar colour WHITE
  • From 15th March (Current Data Date) to 30th March (Expected Finish Date) bar colour YELLOW

 

Has anyone done similar thing before? Please share

 

Cheers

Hello

Best way is to Show two bars for the activity:

1. Baseline - one bar

2.Actual and forecast - another bar

 

Reason: If trying to combine in one bar and where some dates overlap (Ex: Plan st 01/02 and fs 28/02; Actual st 15/02 and pln fs 30/03). The period on mentioned example between 15/02 and 28/02 will be shown only in one of the bars - the one being defined later on the sequence of bar definition window)

 

No problems with collors (you can define as much as you want for different status of the work): baseline, done, forecast, float, etc.

 

Caution: White collor will require special ability when displaying in white background or printing.
