Hello, I would like to create a Gantt Chart for Resource Allocation for project planning purposes. The specifications for this Gantt Chart are as follows: - Resources on the x-axis - Time (months) on the y-axis In this format, each row should represent a resource (such as a team member, equipment, or room), and the horizontal bars indicate the periods during which the resource is allocated to a specific task (Jira Ticket). The horizontal axis (x-axis) should represent the duration of each task, while the vertical axis (y-axis) should represent the different resources. Each horizontal bar on a resource’s row indicates the period during which that resource is assigned to a particular task (Jira Ticket). I would like to inquire if it is possible to create such a Gantt Chart for Resource Allocation in EazyBI (Server version). If it is possible, could you kindly assist me ? If it is not feasible in the current Server version, would it be possible after migrating to Data Center? I saw the same topic without a reply since 2019 here: [Gantt Chart for Resource Allocation - Questions & Answers - eazyBI Community](https://community.eazybi.com/t/gantt-chart-for-resource-allocation/1504) Best regards, ---

Hi @Fredia Welcome to the eazyBI community! In eazyBI, Gantt charts are quite simple and meant to illustrate scheduled tasks and their progress on the timeline. However, you may create a chart with different meaning, if you follow 3 main rules and take into account the chart limitations. I suggest starting report creation in a table view. 1. In **rows** , add a dimension that contains your resources. Most typically, it could be the Issue dimension if Jira issues define your resources; some of the users’ dimensions (like Assignee); or JSM assets (objects). All resources should belong to the same dimension to include them in one chart! You may add another dimension to group those resources; however, each row would still be a separate bar. 2. In **columns** , two measures that display the resource’s start and end dates must be selected. They could be some standard properties (issue created date/closed date, custom dates, or object attributes), additionally imported dates (for users, for instance), or dates that you calculate in a user-defined measure. In any case, those two date fields are mandatory to build a Gantt chart. 3. If you also want to display the % of completion, then there must be a third measure in columns that returns this value. Here is an example of Assets objects grouped by owners and based on their start and end dates. ![image](https://community.eazybi.com/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a590f0f4394b1152e9c5c2dd3fc2fb58efc5c598.png) Another option is to use **Bar chart as a Gantt** , using line type “range” between two dates. This option allows more customization options (colors, conditional formatting) and adding some additional dates. Only there you can not define % of completion. An example here (based on stories, but the meaning depends on what you select in the report rows): [Blocker Story Plan (Bar as Gantt) - Issues - Jira Demo - eazyBI](https://eazybi.com/accounts/1000/cubes/Issues/reports/99446-blocker-story-plan-bar-as-gantt) How to create such a bar/Gantt report, watch a video: [Training videos](https://docs.eazybi.com/eazybi/learn-more/training-videos#Trainingvideos-GanttandBar/Rangechart). Let me know if it helps you move forward! Best, IlzeLA, [support@eazybi.com](mailto:support@eazybi.com)
