    exporting

    Hi again Cesar, The menu Tools/Tabular Reports/Resource/Loading reveals a number of standard resource loading reports. If you select (single click/Modify or double click)any one of the reports and then click on the Format tab, you should see 2 options on the left side, 'Generate report in P3'...

    Microsoft Project Vs Others

    I would have to agree with Hanp regarding Primavera as a project management tool (not just planning), except that the cost is so much greater. You could also look at Suretrak, the 'baby' version of Primavera, which hasn't the same extensive learning curve and gives lots of the Primavera benefits...

    Project 2000 - create Task Reprt with Outline Structure intact

    Hi Zydeco, A simple method of reporting task information in the format that you want is to print the task sheet only (the sheet in the combination view with the gannt chart). Use the menu commands View/More Views/Task Sheet/Apply. This sheet will maintain the indented outline structure and you...

    How to prepare S curve in M S Project

    Hi Imtiyaz, Like blooda, I have exported data from the task/resource usage tables to excel, the reason being that you can't hold progressive actuals to measure against the plan curve - all you can pull off are the latest values. If you want to see a planned curve only, split the window to Gannt...

    How to "unhide" columns

    Hi Marc, Unfortunately, 'hiding' doesn't mean what it suggests - it actually means delete column. When you do this, you don't lose data though, so you can reinset the column by clicking on the column name to the right of where you wish to insert and on the Insert menu, select column. Follow this...

    different duration - same start/end date

    Hi Alex, The reason you're getting 1.88 days for a 2 day duration is because you've changed the working time (either for the project default calendar, or the calendar referring to that task) after you've entered the 2 day duration - in fact you've change the working time from 8hrs to 8.5 hrs...

    Task List Question

    Hi Rkeslar, I can only assue that you want to do this for reporting purposes and they are curently unscheduled tasks which you want others to know they exist, but don't want them to see fictitious dates. You could create 2 new colums with, say Start1/Finish1 and copy/paste the Start/Finish...

    Displaying only selected tasks

    Hi Mish, Using MSP filters is fairly straightforward. If you've assigned a resource, then just filter by that resource as follows: On the menu bar, click the Project option / Filtered for/ using resource. This gives a dialogue box with your resource options. Select the one you're using and hey...

    Changing Legend label "task" to something else

    Hi Jdude, Double click on the gantt area, it brings up the bar styles box. Click on the name 'Task' and edit the name in the edit area (between the 'cut row' button and the 'Name' title) to whatever name you want. Sounds like you're trying one of the most basic moves - try the help feature. Good...

    Critical path for any task

    Hi Lynn, If you really want to force critical (zero float) through a chain of activities, then you could create a milestone with a 'must start' constraint on the finish date of the last activity in the chain. Then link (f-s) the last activity to the milestone and it will show the chain critical...
