Yes. The data table includes three optional columns. On the 'Settings' sheet, you can either hide these columns entirely or keep them visible and edit their labels.
You can choose from four different layouts in the 'Settings' sheet: • Horizontal: Events are staggered on both sides of a horizontal axis. • Horizontal Simplified: All events appear on one side of a horizontal axis. • Vertical: Events are staggered on both sides of a vertical axis. • Vertical Simplified: All events appear on one side of a vertical axis.
All events are managed in the data table on the 'Timeline' sheet. You can: • Add: Click the 'New Item' button. • Edit: Enter your event details and select dates directly in the cells. • Delete: Select an event and click the delete button. • Sort: Use the sorting feature to organize your events.
Yes. Go to the 'Settings' sheet and disable the option for duration bars. The timeline will then display only the event markers without the bars connecting the start and end dates.
Use the 'Starting Date' and 'Ending Date' fields located above the timeline chart. Click on either field to open a date picker, select your desired date, and the timeline will automatically refresh.
Yes. You can select a new color for the timeline markers from the color palette available on the 'Settings' sheet.
Yes. On the 'Timeline' sheet, click the 'Export' button in the top-right corner. A dialog box will appear where you can set the file name and save location for your exported timeline.
