If you structure the tabel as

Start Duration Parent Task Complete Resource
2018-01-01 0 AAA
2018-01-01 10 AAA A1 10% Name1
2018-01-15 20 AAA A2 30% Name2
2018-02-01 40 BBB 0% Name 3

You will get an arrow at the parent AAA.

Thanks LostInTheFlood, your table structure works!

Here is a screenshot of how the Gantt look in Power BI. Note the small 'arrow' next to the task name 'AAA' which expands to show the sub tasks.

Hi Anonymous

I've copied the dataset and allocated the fields. The subtasks seem to be working (I can see from selecting "Inherit Parent Legend" changes the colour of the bar). The issue is I see no arrow for the drop down. What setting did you alter to get this or did it come up automatically?

  Appreciate it Anonymous.
  
  The linked file doesn't have the dropdowns like your screenshot. Apologies if I'm missing something simple.

    I'm experiencing the same issue; the items appear but as separate 'tasks' and not as dropdowns of the parent. Would appreciate any solutions or workarounds.
