Default gnatt chart in excel?!

Hi
Im trying to create a schedule of classes in different locations. I would
like to have them displayed in a “gnatt chart”, however im having difficulty
trying to get the chart wizard to make it for me.

The classes are scheduled at different dates, run for different lengths of
time and are in different locations. There will also be classes in different
locations at the same time.

Is it possible to display this sort of data in a chart form in excel, and if
it is, how do I do it? I can leave the start & finish times out, it is the
dates and the class numbers that are the most important

Data sample:

Class # Start Date Days of Week Times (To – From) Finish Date
1 3 April 06 Mon - Thurs 6:30pm – 9:00pm 13 April 06
2 15 April 06 Sat & Sun 9:00am – 4:00pm 16 April 06
3 17 April 06 Mondays 6:30pm – 9:30pm 15 May 06
4 15 April 06 Sat - Thurs 6:30pm – 8:00pm 19 April 06

Im using a stacked bar graph at the moment and the data is all over the
place! Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Mary
