Native Gantt Chart in Power BI

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

Hi everyone,

 

I’ve been working extensively with Power BI for project reporting and one thing keeps puzzling me — why doesn’t Power BI offer a free, native Gantt chart visual?

 

There are many great visuals out there like xViz, Deneb, Zebra BI, and I truly respect the innovation and quality they bring. But often, clients aren’t ready to pay extra for what feels like a basic project management need - a simple Gantt chart.

Not every team uses Microsoft Project or high-end PM tools. Many rely on Excel, P6, or other platforms, and need to visualize timelines directly in Power BI without additional licensing costs.

Would love to hear from the community:

 
  • Why do you think Microsoft hasn’t included a native Gantt yet?

  • What free alternatives have worked well for you?

  • Any tips for building Gantt-style visuals using core Power BI visuals?


  •  

Thanks in advance!

Pranay
