Hi
I'm trying to build a chart that shows what procedures are taking up a resource's time throughout a single day. Kind of a timeline, but for a day. Procedures are composed out of steps. In the best case the result would look something like this:
I've tried a number of timeline and gantt visualizations, but they all seem to be focused on days and are quite rigid in terms of bending em for my needs.
Is there a way to build a visualization like this? It needs to be precise to the second of utilization.
Below is some sample data for a day in case it's needed

Thanks!
I think I've messed up with sample data, so here is a link to an excel file
