Just read one of the great articles entitled "Gantt charting for the holidays" by David Leibowitz. It effectively describes a technique for producing a gantt chart using a stacked bar chart. I wanted to extend this report further by introducing a constant line in the Y-axis to display where "TODAY" is in the Gantt chart.
I have already tried manipulating the "Minor gridlines interval" on the Y-Axis and this works in some cases where for example "TODAY" is far greater than the start date of any task, but where this is not the case I get a repeated minor gridline interval indicating multiple "TODAY" points on the gantt chart which is clearly wrong.
I cannot seem to crack this problem. All of the grouping and data series stuff effectively alters the "category" elements of the report in the X-Axis so I am all out of ideas. Any of you bright sparks out there got any clues.
For those of you who haven't read the article we are dealing with a stacked bar chart here, SSRS and I am using the report viewer control to render an RDLC report (converted from the original RDL in the article).
Any help would be appreciated!!

Well after much deliberation I gave up with the idea of a constant line in the Y axis favouring instead a progress time bar across the top of the report (per page) which is accurate and effectve and changes with each "chart area" on each page which is what I wanted for this particular dataset.
Thanks anyway.
