Hi, is it possible to create a Gantt from an Excel file imported? If so, please how should I do it?

I don’t believe Foundry natively supports Gantt Charts if you don’t have ontology objects backing it.

The closest thing you can do in Foundry is to import the CSV as dataset and then build a gant Chart in a Code Workbook.
See here

From Workshop side, you can configure a function-backed Action in Ontology that takes an attachment as a parameter. Then in the function logic, you can read the Excel file and create relevant objects. This way the objects will be added to Ontology and you can use Workshop to show the Gantt chart.

Finally, if you don’t wish to persist the content of the Excel but just use it for visualization, you might be able to create this workflow in our pro-code custom app solution: Ontology SDK • Overview • Palantir

Slate supports Gantt charts natively. You would need to preprocess data to store them as dataset in Foundry, and then potentially some frontend processing through Slate functions. This widget has plenty configuration options.
