    Give this Man a thumb up for cracking cursed Microsoft, Jesus!!! Thank you! I've been fighting with 2 summary tasks starting at the same time and not being counted by the summary tasks as total duration, this custom field helped, why why on earth would the standard field Duration not count together linked summary tasks by start to start dependencies?

    Hello, thanks for the wonderful and easy to understand video. Slight issue I encountered tho, I followed the steps but had #ERROR messages on the summary level of tasks on my plan. What do I do?

    My numbers for some reason doesn't add up. Just gives me the total duration and all the days that follow. But no sum.

    Hello Im new to project so perhaps the question might be silly. But i want to know the total duration in working days from start to finish considering that some tasks overlap each other.

    • @Computergaga

      Dave B The Duration column by default does this Dave. Make sure you edit your Calendar from Change Working Time on the Project tab so that Project understands your working days correctly.
      This video is to show how to add up all the durations instead of the difference between start and finish. You will be happy with just the Duration column.

    Hello. This was just to add up all the duration which is what the video is about but i want to know how to round off the value of duration (considering all the logic in the program). Like in above example, duration was 56.5 days, how to round it off to 57 days?

    • @Computergaga

      +Muhammad Abdullah Chaudhary In the Project Options and the Display section there is a setting to remove decimal places from currency. This should round the values.

    • @robtayler9740
      @robtayler9740 8 років тому +2

      dont worry it was because i had the type still set to text instead of duration. thank you.

    how do I enter fixed duration and start and finish dates? for instance duration of 266 days start date 4th march 2020 finish date 25th november 2020

    • @Computergaga

      You can change the task from Auto scheduled to Manually scheduled and then enter the dates into the Start and Finish fields.

    how to know the sum of the calendar day delays of the project?

    • @Computergaga
      @Computergaga  7 років тому

      If you switch to the Variance table by clicking the View tab, Tables and Variance from the Gantt Chart. This view will show the start and finish variance of your project on the Project Summary Bar.
      For this to work it would require you having a Baseline setup and the Project Summary bar displayed.

      Project has a % complete field but the detail you need seems beyond projects standard fields. You can create a custom field or maybe export the data into Excel for analysis.
