Sample Project Task List
Tasks with owner, start date, duration and percent complete — a flat input table for a stacked-bar Gantt chart.
What is in the file
7 columns, 80 data rows by default, plus a header row. These are the first ten rows of the default file.

About this dataset
Built to the column layout a Gantt chart actually consumes: a start date, a duration in days, and a completion percentage, so a stacked bar chart turns into a schedule without restructuring anything first. Durations and owners repeat enough to make workload-per-owner a meaningful calculation.
The Excel download stores date columns as numeric Excel dates with a date format. CSV and JSON contain ISO date text; convert those fields to dates during import before using date arithmetic or grouping by month.
What you can practise with it
- Turn start + duration into a stacked-bar Gantt chart
- Add an End Date helper before comparing start and end dates with NETWORKDAYS
- Percent complete roll-up per owner or phase
- Derive an End Date helper, then flag incomplete tasks past a chosen as-of date
Try a related exercise
- Count working days between two dates — Date arithmetic that respects weekends — the difference between a calendar and a delivery promise.

Questions
Is this sample project task list free to use?
Yes — for practice, teaching, demos and commercial work alike. The rows are generated, so there is no personal data in the file. Attribution is not required; if you would like to credit it, there is a ready-made line at the bottom of this page.
Do I have to sign up or give an email address?
No. Direct links download the default-size files without JavaScript. The row-count control builds other supported sizes in your browser. Your spreadsheet contents are not uploaded and no account is involved.
Which formats can I download?
The original dataset is available as Excel (.xlsx), CSV and JSON. All three contain the same source rows, so you can use the CSV for an import exercise and the .xlsx for a formula exercise.
Can I choose how many rows I get?
Yes. The browser control offers 25, 80, 100 data rows, plus a header. Direct source links contain 80 data rows; the preview shows the first ten of those rows.
