The document explains how to create a Gantt chart using Tableau, which is useful for visualizing the progress of tasks over time in project management. It outlines specific steps such as dragging dimensions to the appropriate shelves, filtering date ranges, and customizing the chart with ship mode and quantity. The document also briefly mentions other types of charts that will be covered in future posts.

2. A Gantt chart shows the progress of the value of a
task or resource over a period of time.
It is extensively used in project management and
other types of variation study over a period of
time.
Thus, in Gantt chart, time dimension is an
essential field.
The Gantt chart takes at least a dimension and a
measure in addition to the time dimension.

3. Using the Sample-superstore, plan to find the
variation of quantities of different SubCategory of

Columns shelf and Sub-Category to the Rows shelf.
Next, add the order date to the Filters shelf.

5. Step 2 −
Edit the filter condition to select a range of
dates.
It is because you want individual date values
and there is a very large number of dates in
the data.
The range is created as shown in the following
screenshot.

7. Step 3 −
Drag the dimension ship mode to the Color
shelf and the measure quantity to the Size
shelf under the Marks card.
