Visualize a table with a diagram
Asked by Maximilian Herbert:

Hey there,

so my question is more a "how would you do it"...

I have a table that has three colums:

Projectname, ServiceDevelopmentStart, ServiceOperationsStart

I have 30+ projects in total.

What I want to do is visualize the projects on a timeline.  
When im using the Diagramm from Table I tried the Gantt-Type but the two dates I have are not start and end but two seperate start dates.  

Does anyone have an approach on how to best visualize the projects?  

Thanks a lot

Max

[@Kelsey Van Scoy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5080718) could you please help me to add custom tags like the following so users can find the relevant info easier in the Atlassian Community:

table-filter  
table-filter-and-charts  
table-spreadsheet  
table-transformer  
pivot-table  

Thanks a lot!

We develop the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=datacenter&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) app, and its [Chart from Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/dc-server/how-to-use-chart-from-table-macro-42239655.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro also provides an advanced [Gantt Chart](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/dc-server/gantt-chart-type-42239634.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111).  

As you've mentioned before, the Gantt Chart operates with start and end dates of your projects or their phases. So, if the ServiceDevelopment phase is the first step and ServiceOperations phase is the second step, you may take our [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/dc-server/how-to-use-table-transformer-macro-42241552.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro and calculate the end dates: ServiceDevelopmentEnd = ServiceOperationsStart -- 1 day. Now your ServiceDevelopment phase can be visualized.  

But for the ServiceOperations phase you'll still need the end dates.  

If you don't need the end dates at all, you may take our [Pivot Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/dc-server/how-to-use-pivot-table-macro-42239659.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro and count how many projects will be starting their development and then operation each week/month/quarter/year. Then this table can be visualized for better understanding.  

You may also book a [live demo session](https://calendly.com/tablefilter/live-demo?month=2023-11) with us to discuss your case in detail -- maybe we'll have some other hints for you.

Have you taken a look at the different templates available in Confluence? Maybe one of the Project Management templates has a built-in feature you can use.

You can start at: <https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/templates>

cant really use templates as I dont have administrative rights on the Confluence Config.  
We have the Diagramm from Table Macro installed which I can use
