    - Resource column Hi! I tried to create several resource columns, since I have several different resources. But all the columns showed the same resource, no matter the changes I did in each one.

    - Calendar Shift problem Hi, I have several resources who work in a shift systeem. This means that they work week 1 : early shift (for example 06:00-14:00) week 2: day shift week 3: night shift and so on. I can create 3 base calendars with the appropriate times. When I assign one of those calendars to that resource, it changes all the weeks to that calendar. What I want to do, is to to assign that calendar only for a certain week. Do I have to give the times on a day per day basis for that resource (which means a lot of work) or is there a possibility to assign that resource to a base calendar for only a limited time period.

    - displaying ressource shortcuts in gantt diagram Hallo, I use MS Project 2002, German Version - that's why I try to guess correct menu names etc. I hope you will understand my question! In the gantt diagram are shown the ressource names and the percentages, if I use one ressource <100% - it's default. But I changed it and want to show the ressource shortcuts [?? right name?? abbrevation?? in German Version: "Ressourcenkuerzel"] instead of full ressource names. I can do this - but now there are no percentages if using one ressource <100% :-( It's possible to do this, and how? Thanks a lot for your answers! Ute (eryakaas) [for German speakers: Ich möchte anstatt des Ressourcennamens das Ressourcenkürzel neben den Balken eintragen. Das funktioniert auch, aber die Prozentangaben beim einsatz <100% werden nicht angezeigt. Kann ich das ändern?] Tag: PWA - How to Collapse all tasks... ? Tag: 76160

    - Filtering on late milestones I have a master schedule with 5 fairly lengthy inserted schedules that I need to manage from different cross functional groups. Rather than manage each line in each schedule my plan is to manage major milestones (and by manage I mean look for schedule slippages) I would like to set up a Filter on the following: 1) Milestone tasks 2) < 100% complete 3) Due before today Can anybody help me with this? Although I have been using project for years I haven't really made real use of it's features and filters are one area I am new to. Thanks Dave Tag: PWA - How to Collapse all tasks... ? Tag: 76144

    - Adding a resource in the middle of the task Hello, I am somewhat new to MS Project. Is it possible to add a resource to a task after the task has already started. I was currently trying to use the personal calendar, but I dont want to turn days to non-working days that are prior to a resources start on a task because I want that resource working on another task. So, is it possible to add a resource and make that resource start doing work on a task in the middle of that task? thanks, Scott Tag: PWA - How to Collapse all tasks... ? Tag: 76136

    - entering actual duration question I have a Fixed Duration task of 12 hours - a meeting of three four sessions to determine test cases - which has completed. The timeframe for 12 hours to occur could be accomplished in 2 days but because of other things on each person's schedule (i.e vacation, other commitments, etc.) it took 2 weeks to perform the 12 hour task Since all planned attendees attended, I enter 12 hours at the task level and let Microsoft divide up the work hours. I also physically entered both the start date (of our first meeting of 11/8/2004) and the end date (of our last meeting of 11/23/2004). Once I entered the above start and finish dates of the meetings, MS Project lengthened my actual duration to a much longer duration than 12 hours. Why? I'm not sure what I need to do to get MS Project to reflect the reality of 12 hours duration? Tag: PWA - How to Collapse all tasks... ? Tag: 76128

    - Master Plan grouping by Outline Code does not work Using Project Server 2003, we need to create master plans to include task-level data within portfolio reports. We have a custom MS Project 2003 Grouping that has an Enterprise Project Outline Code as one of its grouping values. This Outline Code has 3 levels within its structure and we only want to group by the 3rd level. MS Project allows this, however the grouping seems to be duplicated in the view. All of the projects with the same outline code value do not group together. This works fine if the view is for only one project. Has anyone created a level specific grouping for a master project plan? Tag: PWA - How to Collapse all tasks... ? Tag: 76114

    - start & finish dates - what happens to dates inbetween I have a large project that I need to create a pivot table and various reports on. Th e pivot table needs to display by week, the amount of hours that are required by each resource. However, I can only export Start & Finsih dates to Excel, I am unable to work out how to create a pivot table that will show that a resource is working on a task over 3 months so Wk1 = 16 hrs effort, wk2 etc..... Using grouping on the pivot doesn't work as it only shows the week the task starts in. Does Project have a 'work effort by week' report? The 'resource usage' report gives me what I want, but I can't export it to Excel, is there a way???? Tag: PWA - How to Collapse all tasks... ? Tag: 76089

    - How do I weight percentages using Project 2000? Is there a way to reflect the weighting of percentages? For example I have a task with two subtasks.

Disregard the days, since this person really dragged their heals and really should have only taken a month, but the effort was easy compared to the other task. I would think the 86% should be more like 65%. Is this doable? Thanks SAP Controls 191 days? 191 days? Fri 5/7/04 Fri 1/28/05 86% NA NA Complete Questionaires-BB 104 days? 104 days?

The problem is that these administrative projects still seem to behave like normal projects. For example, MS Project still tries to calculate an end date, a task duration, the amount of remaining work, etc, for things like sick time or vacation.

    - Project 2002 will run install when opened Everytime a user opens MS proj 2002 it runs the install. It used to work fine before. I uninstalled it as an admin and re-installed at users login (a network install, with user users given rights in a group to install), but problem comes back. We are using Office XP sp3 and Win XP sp2. It gives a message saying Project was not closed properly and will open in safe mode. Choosing yes or no gives same action, that is re-installing the software and at the end will give an error msg that the system is out of memory, and terminates the install. The system has 1GB RAM. Virus and spyware scans were done and nothing much suggest of a virus or spyware problem. Any suggestions. Tag: PWA - How to Collapse all tasks... ? Tag: 76058

    - Autofilter - Missing data in drop box I have a large file with multipule names in over 1800 rows, as well as other information in the columns, such as ref numbers. The problem is when I use Autofilter, some of the names in one column doesn't show in the drop down box. As an example, let say you have the letter A in A1, B in A2 and C in A3 with the heading of "Letters". When you use autofilter, you should see A, B, C in the drop box. However, in my case, I'm only seeing A and C, I'm not able to find B in the drop down box list. I'm seeing this same problem in my spreadsheet, however, it's on a much larger scale. What is more frustrating, is when I use the autofilter drop box I can see (for example) letter X in row 1200 but letter Y in row 1201 isn't avaliable. There isn't any gaps inbetween the data, and I can't see any reason why a field in a column wouldn't show up when the one right above it is showing up!

In the standard version of MS Project I can use the "Collapse All"
funcion. Is there a similar functionality for PWA ?
