Time off from List to Timeline

One solution to create a timeline with unique names and all days off for each person would be to use a PivotTable.

Here are the steps:

1. Select the range of cells that contain the time off data, including the headers.
2. Go to the Insert tab and select "PivotTable".
3. In the Create PivotTable dialog box, make sure the range is correct, and choose to create the PivotTable in a new worksheet or existing worksheet.
4. In the PivotTable Fields pane, drag the "Name" column to the Rows section and the "Start Date" column to the Columns section.
5. Drag the "End Date" column to the Values section.
6. Click on the arrow next to the "End Date" field in the Values section, select "Value Field Settings", and choose "Count" as the summarization function.
7. Now you have a PivotTable that shows each person's name and the number of days they took off in each month.
8. To create the timeline, select the PivotTable and go to the Insert tab. Select "Timeline" and choose the "Start Date" field.
9. In the Timeline dialog box, choose the date range for your timeline and click OK.
10. Now you have a timeline that shows each person's name and all the days they took off during the selected time period.

Note: You may need to adjust the PivotTable and timeline settings to fit your specific needs, but this should give you a good starting point.
