Gantt chart in dashboard

Amy — Fri, 21 Mar 2025 13:03:53 GMT

I'd like to create Gantt charts using the dashboard function. It seems like this could be possible by adding some additional parameters in the bar plot functionality, but I don't see how to do it currently (if there is a way, would love an example!).

In altair, this chart type is based on the bar plot, with an additional parameter `x2` that tells where to end the bar.

Example (from altair😞

import altair as alt
import pandas as pd
 
source = pd.DataFrame([
    {"task": "A", "start": 1, "end": 3},
    {"task": "B", "start": 3, "end": 8},
    {"task": "C", "start": 8, "end": 10}
])
 
alt.Chart(source).mark_bar().encode(
    x='start',
    x2='end',
    y='task'
)

Hi @Kaniz Fatma ,

Thanks for the response. I use altair for plotting, and as you can see I can easily make the Gantt chart in python in altair using the above code. I'm specifically asking about getting this in the dashboard functionality of Databricks, which seems like it only supports Databricks plotting. Is it possible to use python to create dashboards?

Thanks,

Amy

Hi @Vidula,

I don't think this has been resolved.

I think gantt charts would look fantastic in a Lakeview Dashboard.
