Hi,Anonymous .Ritaf1983, thank you very much for some effective help on these issues!
And I would like to share some of my suggestions

Let me answer your questions in turn.

Q1: Is there a free alternative available (perhaps a standard matrix with extensive conditional formatting), or maybe a more economical visual that provides comparable results?

A1:You want to find an alternative to the xViz Gantt Chart that your company is currently using.

You can do this by going to visuals > get more visuals in the power bi desktop and searching in the mall for an alternative that you are happy with.

Here are some of my suggestions:

You can choose the visuals according to the usage level, such as Gantt Chart by MAQ Software, which is priced (1 - 99 users): First month free, then $3.00/user/month (this could be a viable option).

Its pricing (1 - 99 users): First month free, then $3.00/user/month (This could be a viable option).

Gantt Chart by MAQ Software can meet your alternative requirements: it costs less than xViz Gantt Chart.

But most importantly, you need to choose the right alternative according to your company's business needs.

Q2:How is the number of users determined? Is it based on the total workspace users or the number of users allowed simultaneous access to the visuals?

A2: The number of users is usually based on the number of licences purchased. If you purchase 100 licences, then up to 100 users can have simultaneous access to the reports and visual elements. Now if only 6 users need to create a report with a Gantt chart and publish it to the servcie. But the other users, who need to access the report with Gantt charts, as Viewers, also need to have licences. You need to buy 100 licences.

For this question, you can also visit the community section of the xViz Gantt Chart website, where there are questions similar to the one you are asking now!

like this:

Q3:Could splitting the Gantt visual into separate reports potentially reduce the number of users required?

A3:I think this is possible, if a user accesses a report with xViz Gantt Chart visual, then he needs a license, but if you make the content with xViz Gantt Chart visual into separate reports from the content with other important information, and let only some users buy licenses to use the report with xViz Chart visual into separate reports from the content with other important information, and let only some users buy licenses to use the report with xViz Gantt Chart visual (buy licences for them), let other users who have not bought licences use other reports.
Q4: What would be visible to other users if the number of viewers exceeds the licensed amount?
A4:If the number of viewers exceeds the licensed number, other users may not be able to see xViz Gantt Chart visuals in the report.

I hope my suggestions  give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

I just created the following report in power BI, it contains a Ganntt chart from Xvitz and when I publish it it shows me a buy license message. In the afternoon I bought a license but that message is still coming out. Please someone explain to me what I should do.
