KPI Data Chart Display

[whatzzup]

Good day all,
Below is a set of data that i am trying to represent as a Chart KPI Display
in excel but i am not sure how to do this as it is a combination of start
milestone/ finish milestones/ and duration period.
Is there a way that this can be done where the activities is shown on the X
axis and the Dates is shown on the Y axis and the data is represented in the
Chart Area?

I am desperate anyone can give me a quick solution? Thanks
