Project dependency visual?

[sfink22]

I have a project portfolio dashboard with both regional and global projects. The management team wants to see project details and a lot of interactive visuals for decision making (hence using Power BI). One request they have is to see any dependencies parts of our regional projects have on existing global projects. For example, a regional project might have 4 parts but 2 of those are dependent on global activities. I have the general start/end dates of these global projects. I'm trying to create a graph that looks like this:

The global projects would be color coded and I can show how their timing relates to the regional projects on the left. 

Is this possible? I've tried many different ways but since the data is all categorical I can't make most of the visuals work. It isn't a Gantt chart exactly, so I'm at a loss at what to use. I'd really like it to be dynamic so I don't have to go in and manually update every time there is a change.

Hi @sfink22 ,

Based on my test, seems like Gantt chart visual could acheive most of requirements except showing no data item rows.
