Dear All,

I have a list of numbers that represent time (days etc.) and I would like to map these to fill in the amount of cells that the number represents (e.g. '3' would fill in 3 cells in a horizontal row; '8' would fill in 8 cells in a horizontal row; etc.) with a background fill colour of my choosing.

Essentially, to create a mini GANTT type chart.

Please could anyone help?

Hope that explains - thanks a lot.
Really appreciate it!

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
