+4Like the calendar view but if you introduce Gantt you could take Smartsheet out of the market :slightly_smiling_face: until then they have an edge over you!!!
As an interim to full Gantt view could you show tasks with a start and end date as a span e.g. multi days rather than start date only?

Hi folks! We just launched the Gantt block today. If you have access to Airtable Blocks through the Pro or Enterprise plan, I highly recommend that you go check it out!
This blog post has a good overview of the features included in our Gantt block (including simple drag-and-drop editing, cascading changes, critical path highlighting, grouping, color-coding, and more). For more in-depth guidance, you can check out our support article here, which also has a tutorial video.
If you’re not sure where to start, we just released a bunch of new Gantt-centric templates:
Our Airtable experts will also teach you how to set up a Gantt block and answer all your Gantt questions if you sign up for our live office hours, happening at 9 a.m. PDT on Thursday, May 23. (If you can’t make that time, sign up anyway and we’ll send you a recording later.)
+12Has anyone looked at using a zapier or other integration solution? If so, could you suggest what might work on the other end of the pipe?
I’d love a Gantt view but at least allowing us to use a date range instead of a single date in the calendar to show tasks spanning multiple dates would be adequate for the time being. At the moment I find the calendar view a bit limited for my own use, and just giving us the option for a “start” & “end” date would make a big difference.
Another vote from me! A good start could be to introduce a timeline, and then add gantt functionality later…
We have invested a ton of money in airtable - it runs and automates our entire business, but we are forced to use the terrible UI of smartsheet because we need Gant charts to manag3e the projects. - should we invest time and money into smartsheets or will airtable implement gant charts soon?
EVEN A BASIC GANT VIEW WOULD BE AMAZING!
I’m echoing the request for a gannt view. Our entire team is getting ready to convert to Airtable, but without a gannt view, I will still be forced to export to smartsheet. Would love to fully integrate with Airtable.
What do we want? "GANTT CHARTS!!!"
When do we want it? “WE GANTT TELL BECAUSE WE DON’T HAVE A GANTT CHART!!!”
200% agreed here! We need a mix of the calendar and kanban functionality and Gantt view would be perfect for visualizing/planning steps on multiple projects at once. Our company is currently using AT for almost everything except this, which currently lives on a nearly illegible spreadsheet despite it being maybe the most important data vis tool for our production process!
Another vote for Gantt view here. Our company is evaluating software and I lost my quest to implement Airtable solely because it doesn’t have Gantt. We’re going with SmartSheet instead.
