The labels that are assigned a unique named can be used for filtering. Only one bucket can be selected at a time. You can choose any of the available buckets to filter by that specific bucket. By default neither of the filters are selected. You can choose to include only items that you are one of the assignees of. In addition to the month range filter described earlier, you can also apply other types of filters on the displayed tasks. Note that only labels that have a specific name set in the Planner are displayed. All the named categories/labels that are set on the task are displayed on the right. The bucket of each task is displayed on the left hand side of the chart.
I will walk through some technical implementation highlights in later posts. I implemented the app and in this blog post I will introduce it from end user perspective. This time the data is stored in Microsoft Planner and the implementation method as well as features have evolved in various ways. Obviously, that is not always possible, so I wanted to give it a shot whether it is feasible to create a Power Apps canvas app to provide the missing functionality.įew years ago I wrote an article in LinkedIn introducing a way to create a Gantt chart in Power Apps based on task data stored in Azure SQL Database. The latest reply from the Planner Team is, that people should start using Microsoft Project. So far (May 15th, 2021) there has been 11957 votes on the Microsoft Planner UserVoice for a feature to get a Gantt chart view in Microsoft Planner.
Update on Oct 7th 2021: Planner UserVoice is gone and I was not able to find the corresponding feature request any longer.
