The Gantt Chart Builder System provides a system to build professional quality Gantt charts without the need for Microsoft® Project or similar products. Charts such as that depicted here:
Can be constructed with either Microsoft® Excel® or Access®. Quite often, your data is present in a database and the production of such charts has been extremely difficult without expensive add-ons.
Charts such as that depicted above can be constructed and then exported in either image or spreadsheet format. This allows all the features and flexibility offered by Microsoft® Excel® to be used with your constructed Gantt chart. Full control is available on the colour of each individual line item. That is to say, if you like, each and every bar can be a different colour. Therefore, significant items can be highlighted to your audience. As an Excel® module, GBS requires very little extra disk space (unlike Microsoft® Project®) and does not require the user to learn yet another software package. All Gantt sheets are generated on Excel sheets, this gives the user all the power and flexibility of Excel® without the training overheads of battling with Project®.
The Gantt Chart Builder System (GBS) is based on Microsoft® Excel®. GBS is fully compatible with Microsoft® Excel® 2000, XP/2002, 2003, 2007, 2010, and 2013 versions of Excel®. Note, the GBS program is not compatible with Microsoft® Excel® 97 from version 6.0.0 onwards.

The above data gives the Gantt chart illustrated at the top of this page. Operation of the Gantt builder is simple, with two toolbars providing access to all the GBS functionality. The functions available are as follows:
The Gantt chart can be constructed with a number of pre-specified date bands, these are yearly, quarterly, monthly and weekly. Illustration of these controls are below:
Many attributes of the charts themselves are fully configurable, as illustrated below:
Charts such as that depicted above can be constructed from data present within Microsoft® Access® tables.
