it is more feature-packed. It also comes with other bonus content.
The following link is a blog post that talks specifically about the Pro version for Excel Online.
Gantt Chart Template Pro for Excel Online
Benefits and Features of Gantt Chart Template Pro
Simple Color-Coding The Pro version includes a column for specifying the color of bars in the chart. For example, you could change the color based on urgency or task lead.
Daily, Weekly, or Monthly View
The Pro version includes a drop-down next to the Display Week that lets you choose to display the columns in the chart area as days, weeks, or months.
Use Work Days as an Input
By default, the Pro version is set up to have you enter Work Days instead of Calendar Days. The expanded set of template rows provides more options for defining the Start date, End date, and Duration of tasks. Define a task based on … - Start date and End date - Start date and Work days - Start date and Calendar days
Easily Create Task Dependencies
Though you can still use your own formulas for creating task dependencies, the Pro version includes template rows that calculate the Start date based on the WBS number that you enter in the Predecessor column.
Exclude Holidays from Work Days
List holidays and other specific non-working days that you want to exclude from work days.
Customize Your Work Week
The versions designed for Excel 2010+ use the WORKDAY.INTL() and NETWORKDAYS.INTL() functions that allow you define the work week as something other than Monday-Friday.

Getting Started Tips
• [Bracketed Text] is meant to be edited, like the project title and task descriptions. • Some of the labels include cell comments to provide extra information. • To adjust the range of dates shown in the Gantt chart, change the Display Week number. • The Project Start Date is used to define the first week shown in the gantt chart. • Insert new tasks using one of the methods listed below. • Define the task start date and duration (days) by editing the light green cells. • If you see "#####" in a cell, widen the column to display the cell contents. • Backup your file regularly to avoid losing data! Excel files get corrupted occasionally.
Inserting WhenNew Tasks inserting (Rows)tasks, you need to insert and delete entire rows. Some columns contain and deleting formulas (such as the End Date and the Work Days columns), so these formulas need to copied to the newly inserted rows. METHOD 1 (recommended) • Insert a new blank row by right-clicking on the row number and selecting Insert. • With the new blank row selected, press Ctrl+d to copy the formulas and formatting down from the row above OR use the row drag handle to copy the formulas and formatting down. METHOD 2 • Copy a row from the set of template rows at the bottom of the worksheet. • Right-click on the row where you want to insert the new task and select Insert Copied Cells. Method 2 will work, but Excel will split/fracture/duplicate conditional formatting rules rather than merging the rules. This can cause inefficiencies in very large and heavily modified files. Help improve Excel by voting on a suggestion to fix this problem.
Using the Template Rows and Choosing a WBS Level
The set of template rows at the bottom of the Gantt Chart worksheet provide examples of different ways to format and define tasks for different WBS levels. Each different WBS level uses a different formula in the WBS column. You can either copy/paste/insert these template rows via Method 2 as explained above, OR you can just copy/paste the desired WBS cell when you want to change the WBS level. If you leave a blank cell above a WBS number, the numbering will reset to 1.x.x. The formulas are meant for convenience, but you can manually enter the WBS numbers if you want to. You can indent the task description for sub-tasks by entering leading spaces or using the Indent feature in Excel. Creating Task Dependencies You can enter the Start date manually, or define task dependencies using a formula. Below are some common options for defining the Start date: A. Enter the date manually (e.g. 1/3/2015) B. Reference the Project Start Date (e.g. =$E$4 ) C. Set the Start date to the next Work Day after another task's End date. • Use the formula =WORKDAY(enddate,1) where enddate is the reference to the End date of a •predecessor For multipletask. predecessors, the formula would be =MAX(WORKDAY(enddate1,1),WORKDAY(enddate2,1)) D. Set the Start date to the next Calendar Day after another task's End date. • This formula is very simple: =enddate+1 • For multiple predecessors, the formula would be =MAX(enddate1,enddate2,enddate3)+1 E. Set the Start date to a number of days before or after another date. • This formula is just like the one in C or D, except that in place of the "1" you enter the number of days, such as =WORKDAY(enddate,5) or =WORKDAY(startdate,-5) F. Use a lookup formula and the Predecessor column to define the start date. [The formulas for using this method are built into Gantt Chart Template Pro]
Changing the Color
[Advanced] of Chart The Gantt the Bars in the is created Gantt using Chartformatting, so you can modify the conditional conditional formatting rules to change the format to a different color. The Pro version includes a column where you can change the color by entering a color code ("b"=blue, "g"=green, etc.) FAQs Q: How do I enter the Work Days instead of Calendar Days? Entering work days instead of calendar days is a feature of the Pro version. There is nothing in the free version preventing you from entering your own formulas, though. Q: How do I calculate Calendar Days after entering the Start and End Dates? You can calculate the duration in calendar days (including both start and end dates) using the formula =enddate-startdate+1 Select the entire range of cells you want to print and go to File > Print Area > Set Print Area. Then go Q: How to Filedo> IPage change the or Setup Print FileSettings? (Exceland > Print Preview 2010, 2013) adjust the Scaling, Margins, and Page Orientation as desired.
Q: You Howwill do need I increase thecolumns to add range of to dates displayed the right in theChart of the Gantt Ganttvia chart? copy/paste. Copy and paste the columns in groups of 7. Afterwards, you will also probably need to update the print area.
Q: How do I create a summary row that shows the MIN and MAX dates for all sub-tasks? In the Start column, use the formula =MIN(range_of_start_dates) In the End column, use the formula =MAX(range_of_end_dates) In the Days column, use the formula =end_date-start_date+1 The %Complete for a group of tasks can be calculated from its sub tasks using the formula below, Q: How wheredo"workdays" I calculate isthe %Complete a reference for an to the entire range category of work of tasks? day values and "complete" is a reference to the %complete Example: for each Let's say you of the subtasks. have 3 sub tasks that are 10 days, 12 days, and 14 days long, respectively. If =SUMPRODUCT(workdays,complete)/SUM(workdays) the first subtask is 50% complete and the others are 25% complete, you could calculate the overall percent complete for the group as: =(10*50%+12*25%+14*25%)/(10+12+14).
