# Timeline Visualization

The purpose of this Excel sheet is to plot parallel timelines. 

It could be adapted to suit a set of courses you are enrolled in, or sprints in a scrum activity. 

The sheet file is called `Timeline Viz.xlsx` and can be found in this repository's main directory.

## Elements of the Sheet

The sheet consists of two sections: A table and a chart.

### The Table

- Each row in the table represents a task.

- Each column represent a property of that task (e.g. when it starts, when it ends, etc.).

- Yellow cells (columns) are calculations. You don't need to put values in them manually. The values will be automatically calculated.

### The Chart

- The timeline (horizontal axis) is divided into weeks. 

- The vertical axis represent the span of each task. So each horizontal bar represents where a specific task starts and where it ends.

- The red portion of the bar represents the past (before the current date) and the black portion of the bar represents the future.

## Future work

- Let the horizontal axis minimum and maximum values automatically adjust themselves to accommodate the data entered in the table.

- Let the width/color of the horizontal bar reflect task properties (e.g. category).
