Hello, Welcome to Microsoft Community. To resolve this issue we need some information. Let us know the following. Which template have you used for representing the Project Timeline? To understand the issue better, request you to send us a screenshot of the template you have used. To capture and send us a screenshot follow the step as shown in the following Microsoft link.

Hello, someone who really, really knows all the tricks around charts created this template. The milestone name relates to the end date of the activity/milestone, which is a single data point that is always placed at the end of the bar that shows the time line of the activity. The actual activity consists of many data points, one for each day. Adding a data label that is centered on the yellow horizontal bar will involve a multitude of steps that are not for the faint-hearted. In fact, trying to work with data labels on the yellow bars crashed my Excel session a few times. You may not want to hear this, but the pretty templates are often not very useful in real life scenarios. Many a times, people have to jump through very high hoops in order to customize the templates to suit their individual need. I think this is one of these cases. The template has been very cleverly and very carefully constructed to work with exactly 10 activities and showing the labels for the milestone/activity at the right hand end of the bar. Unfortunately, it also seems to have bugs, because I can't get it to show the first 5 activities at the top of the chart. The template seems to have problems to even plot the ten activities it allows for in the table, and it gets even worse when you add more activities to the table. The chart does not include these activities. My advice is to abandon that template. Chandoo has a wealth of that actually work, all free to download on his site.

Teylyn, Thank you for the response and input. I'll take a look at the other timelines and see if there is a better fit for my project. I have noticed that when I try to manipulate the data points it crashes my sheets as well. Thank you for your time.
