Google charts timeline online for non software developers

In this post I provide an online way to create a Google Chart timeline type. Google charts are for software developers or people with some coding skills. Here, I try to allow common citizens use this technology. After reading the instructions you will be able to create a chart like the following:



There are two ways

Way I: Write in the input text field below
The format write in it is:
Category name1, event name1,Start date1, End Date1; Category name2, event name2,Start date2, End Date2; ...Category nameN, event nameN,Start dateN, End DateN

Category name is the row name where the event will be added. According to the example above, it would be "President" or "Vice President".
Event name is the event in colors that will be added to the categories. An event name would be "George Washington".
Start date and end Date are the start and end date/time of the event. Both have the following structure "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm" . It is possible to specify just some part of these dates like only year:
Category 1, Event1, 2017,2018; Category 2, Event2, 2013,2014

Year and month:
Category 1, Event1, 2017/4,2018/2; Category 2, Event2, 2013/1,2014/11

Also adding day :
Category 1, Event1, 2017/4/11,2018/2/23; Category 2, Event2, 2013/1,2014/11

Or using hour and minute:
Category 1, Event1, 2017/4/01 9:00,2017/4/01 12:00; Category 2, Event2, 2017/4/01 9:00,2017/4/01 15:00

Steps:

  1. Write on the input text field below using the previous format.
  2. Push the "Process" button.
  3. Consider that at the end of the text there is no ";". Add a ";" to separate a for field event only.


Way 2: Import a CSV file
The csv file should follow the previous rules and look something like:
Category name1, event name1,Start date1, End Date1
Category name2, event name2,Start date2, End Date2
.
.
.
Category nameN, event nameN,Start dateN, End DateN

Steps:




  1. Click on the "Choose file" button
  2. Search for the CSV file
  3. Push the "Process" button.
  4. If you want to upload the same file again (Maybe you updated the information), you need to refresh/update/F5 this page before.
