Hi Elly,

For your data, plotting a stacked bar chart would not be possible. Excel needs a dataset of the following sort to plot a stacked bar chart.

1st Week 2nd Week 3rd Week 4th Week
1st Task 44 41 61 58
2nd Task 38 52 53 64
3rd Task 42 48 50 56
4th Task 37 59 44 46

Even in that case, creating a Gantt chart would not be appropriate, as one bar will start where the previous one ended. This will ultimately result in the same bar plot. But if you have a gap between each work period, you can put them in between these values and follow the steps of the article.
