gantt chart - not from custom visuals
Solution SageHi bartek_wachocki,
=> The idea is to publish the Gantt chart to Power Bi Services and then export to pdf. As I know custom visuals cannot be exported to pdf.
I know you want to export report on Power BI Service. And no, not only custom visual cannot be exported to pdf. Also as I said above currently it is impossible to export Power BI report to pdf format and Power BI REST API has no export operation. But we can print an entire dashboard, a dashboard tile, a report page, or a report visual to PDF from Power BI service.
=> I could not reproduce the chart using dates.
You should know that Power BI desktop is different from Excel. Also the Stacked Column Chart in Power BI is different from the one in Excel. So with more complicated dataset, we cannot format stacked column chart to create gantt chart. If you want to create gantt chart, please try custom Gantt visual.
Thanks,
Xi Jin.

I have found quite recent post about publishing custom visuals.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-publish-to-powerpoint
I see a light in a tunnel, cos most recenty export as microsoft call it "Certified custom visuals" is available:
"Certified custom visuals are supported. A certified custom visual has been approved for use with Power BI, meets certain code requirements, and has passed strict security tests. You can learn more about certified custom visuals."
It is about export to Power Point but having Power Point presentation it is easy to save it as pdf.
I have not tested it yet but it seems promising
