I am trying to create a gantt chart using pgfgantt.
Below is the 'sample' code I'm using
\begin{ganttchart}[
hgrid,
vgrid,
x unit=18mm,
time slot format=little-endian
]{9.6.2014}{1.2.2015}
\gantttitlecalendar*{9.6.2014}{1.2.2015}{
month=shortname
}
\end{ganttchart}
when I try to compile it in TeXworks, this happened
Dimension too large.
When I try smaller date duration, this code works. But I really need this 'long' date duration for my gantt chart.
I don't know how to resize this just enough for a beamer presentation.

Dimension too large
error means that you are trying to calculate some operation with a result larger that what TeX can manage.I don't know what can produce this result, but you are trying to draw a calendar wider than 4284 mm (18mm x 238 days).
After some tests,
x unit=12mm
solves the error but unless you use\resizebox
, the calendar won't fit into abeamer
slide. Even then the result is useless.The result without
\resizebox
looks:and with
resizebox
