Upload a .csv or .xlsx file and we'll convert your task list into an Axioplan Gantt chart. Parsing happens in your browser — sign up free to open your Gantt and schedule it with dependencies.
Three steps from a spreadsheet task list to a live Axioplan Gantt.
Drag and drop any .csv or .xlsx file. We read the first column as your task names — no mapping wizard, no templates required.
Your tasks are imported into a new Axioplan project the moment you create your free account.
Set start dates, link tasks with dependencies, and share the live schedule with your team — all inside Axioplan.
Any .csv or .xlsx with one task per row. The converter reads the first column as your task names and ignores the rest — a plain one-column list works perfectly. You add dates and dependencies inside Axioplan.
Download sample template (.csv)Excel is great for data. It's not built for schedules with real dependencies.
A flat task list in Excel doesn't show you which tasks block which. A Gantt chart with dependencies makes the "if this slips, that slips" chain impossible to miss.
When one task slips, every downstream formula needs to be updated by hand. A real Gantt recalculates the whole schedule automatically when you move a predecessor.
Excel files named "plan_v3_FINAL_JD.xlsx" don't belong in a shared project. A Gantt chart living in a central tool keeps everyone on the same schedule, always.
Dependencies are what turn a task list into a real schedule. There are four types — most projects use Finish-to-Start almost exclusively, but the others matter in more complex plans. See how they work on a live timeline on our Gantt chart with dependencies page.
The converter brings your task list into Axioplan. Sign up free to link your tasks with all four dependency types interactively.
Task B can only start after Task A finishes. The most common type — "Design must complete before Development begins."
Task B can only start once Task A has started. Useful for parallel streams that must begin together — "Testing can begin when Development begins."
Task B can only finish when Task A finishes. Common for review cycles — "Documentation finishes when QA finishes."
Task B can only finish once Task A starts. Rarely used — mostly in just-in-time manufacturing and shift handovers.
