Gantt chart workaround with Column Type "Colour" ..but why column name not shown as table header

[Jerry_Lan]

Hi Appsheet,

Please look at the screenshot . I am trying to make a workaround gantt chart with yellow dots as virtual column (if it was box it would be a bit closer but its ok). On top as header, it should appear “Aug”,“Sep”,“Oct” etc…When you chose colour , column name does not appear I could chose ‘text’ column but then it will look less like a gantt chart. Is there any suggestion from the community ?

Interesting idea with the colored circles!

That’s normal for the label to not show on Color-Type columns, as well as Yes/No-Type columns. Since the data is only 1-character wide, the label is omitted to save screen space in Table views.

Try changing the Column-Type to Enum, and add some emojis to the allowed-value list.

You could use a different emoji for each status or stage of a project. The label will show with Text-Type columns now, so maybe change the column’s Display Names to "1"-"12" or "J"-"D" for months (or week numbers 1-52?).

Workaround until Gantt Chart View comes Tips & Tricks 💡

Hi all, [Workaround Gantt] I created this workaround Gantt Chart View. It is actually a table with columns Aug,Sep until Jun next year as virtual columns. Each VCs has a related formula. For example, for September, currently I am using the following formula: if(And([Start Date Booked]<“02/Sep/2020”,[End Date Booked]>“1/Sep/2020”),“Worker master Current_Images/1.Picture.094659.png”,"") 1.Picture.094659.png gives the blue bar Please set to column type to ‘thumbnail’. Image type did not work …
