    - how can number fields in resource views be rolled up? Hi again, I am using a number field in the resource usage to show the actual effort of the people. It's filled by a little macro updating the data from the task view where it's also stored in a number field, not in "actual work". The field "work" in the resource usage shows the sum of the activities in the resource summary, however, I can not show the sum of the actuals in the resource summary line. Is there a trick to do this? I'm using MSP 2007. Thanks much for your help in advance, best regards Gabi Tag: How to hide task and project which is cancelled or finished Tag: 142591

    - Export Resource Usage to excel I am trying to export resource usage to excel to make a report most our people are familiar with. Resource name, task summary name, work and finish are listed in resource usage. When exporting, I can't find resource name and task summary name at the same map. How should I do to map them together? I hope resource name and task summary would show up at different column in excel. Is it possible? Please help.

    - Combining Calendars Hello- I'm new to Project 2003 and need a bit of help. I've got two calendars for two seperate seasons of product development. The dates extend over 8-9 month period for each season with a few months of overlapping tasks across the two seasons. What I want to do is combine the two calendars into one where the bars are colored for each season seperately. So, on those months that have overlapping tasks it is easy to discern which season the task needs to be done for. The end result is rather simple but MS Project may be to sophisticated for this. Thank you for any help you can provide. Tag: How to hide task and project which is cancelled or finished Tag: 142588

    - Sort Order Ignored with Custom Text Fields & Description vs Value I am trying to "group" my display by using the custom text fields. I have renamed several text fields, giving them names such as Company and Area, and entered information in the lookup table for these fields. I put the information in a particular order and selected the "By row number" under "Display order for lookup table". The first problem is that this sorting option is ignored. Project sorts using the data in the "Value" column of the lookup table, not the row number option I selected. It does this during normal sorting of the field and when sorting during grouping. This option is completely ignored. The second problem involves how the lookup data is displayed during grouping. Instead of using the "Description", it uses the "Value". What makes this confusing for me is Project 2000 used the "Description", although only sometimes - it was not under my control. (I could not determine when it would or would not use it) I want to display the lookup table "Description" during grouping. Any suggestions?

    - Updating Network Diagram I run all projects thru Network Diagram for construction which usually follow a suimple layout. I have been noticing when I update projects by % complete and I am ahead of schedule it does not update the successor. An example would be: Frame Roof 15 days start 8/21 finish 9/11 (early completion of 9/2 - 100%) Fascia 5 days start 9/12 finish 9/18 When the Roof Framing was updated on 9/2 the start of Fascia should turn to 9/3 but it stays on 9/12. I have been researching "actual durations" and additional resources and have been trying to update ioin different way but I connot seem to make it work. Is it one of the calculations settings?

    - Rsource Graphing Greetings all. I currently operate MSP 2003 pro desktop version. I support a department that has resources working on 11 different projects. I've set up a labor pool and a master project to view all of the projects and resources. I need to be able to generate a summary level, timescaled graph, that indicates the labor allocation, by resource, for selected resources. The graph preferably needs to be a vertical bar type chart with 100% being the upper threshold so that overallocations and underallocations can be easily observed by the department manager. I can easily generate the resource usage sheet in MSP but the department manager wants to see a graph. He does not want to see a stack of graphs (one for each resource) that MSP generates. I beleive I understand from this forum that it is not possible to generate the type of graph I'm seeking in MSP. Looks as if I'll need to send the data to MS Excel which doesn't look too daunting. However, I'd like to automate as much as possible as this graph will be updated frequently. I'm not VBA conversant but am willing to learn. All input is appreciated.

    - determine latest finish date by milestone Dear all, I need to implement the following scenario: I have an *external* milestone "M1: final system available". This external milestone links into a plan defining and setting up and running the test environment. M1 defines, when the tests have to be finished. Let's say, my plan contains a task "T1: system test". Now, the end date of T1 cannot be later than M1. How do I implement that, so that 1) I get a warning, when my planning causes the Finish Date of T1 to be later than M1 2) warning, if M1 moves forward, so that as a result T1 would be too late. I toyed around with various constraints and task dependencies without success. The easiest would be to feed a deadline on T1 with the date of M1, but that can only be done "by hand" I assume ... We are using Project 2007 (Enterprise). Any hints or ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks and cheers, Riko Tag: How to hide task and project which is cancelled or finished Tag: 142559

    - Sometimes she connects sometimes she doesn't... Can anyone help out there....? We have a simple set up for Project Server running on the LAN for 7 users. In Outlook when editing a task, if click 'Update Project Server', It sometimes works without any error. Other times it says 'unable to contact project server'. This would be on the same machine and in the space of 2 minutes. We have been able to reproduce this on other machines so I am at a loss. We've checked the IP, DHCP and DNS configuration and confirm that's fine. The PWA (at the same address) always works witout fail. Also occationsally we get an error from Outlook. Updates were not accepted by the server (exception 26005). I be glad if anyone knew anything about what might be happening.

    - BCWP Calculation Hi From Microsoft Project 2003 I understand BCWP is calculated as BCWS * % Work Complete. I have the following queries: 1. In the Plan that I have, it is calculated as BCWS * % Complete (not % Work Complete). Even if I change the Default Earned Value Method to Physical % Complete, it still uses % Complete for Calculating the BCWP value 2. Secondly even if % Work Complete is used, why should it be used in BCWP calculations. % Work Complete is calculated as Actual Work / Work * 100. If a resource puts in 100 hours of actual work and out of this 100, say only 75 hours contributes to the original baseline, then % Work Complete value for BCWP calculations should be 75 and not 100. However the way MSP calcultes, there is no difference between ACWP and BCWP. How does MSP distinguish between ACWP and BCWP when whatever Actual Work is charged is accounted in % Work Complete Calculations and consequently in the BCWP calculations. Appreciate any help on this query. Tag: How to hide task and project which is cancelled or finished Tag: 142543

    - Unassigned Tasks - hours showing up in custom view Hi, We use the resource pool to create a customized view which is a report by project. For some reason, this report has been showing unassigned tasks with "work" hours that are not assigned in each individual project plan. When the master is run and left open when running our view out of the resource pool, these unassigned hours go away. The hours go away also when an individual project plan is opened. My questions... Where is it getting the hours? Why is it showing hours that are not in the plan until we open either the individual plan or the master? Why does it show hours that are not in the MSP? Help!

    - How do I move an entire group of tasks Hello I am using Project 2007 to help manage Hospital Construction for a contractor. What I am trying to do is move the start date of a group of tasks, either earlier or later, based on changing conditions. If one trade (i.e. plumbing) needs to adjust their schedule, the timing of the group of tasks needs to stay the same (or relatively so), but the tasks do not all occur immediately following one another, this allows time for other trades to perform their work. So if I have 13 tasks spread over 150 days with several 10-20 day time gaps and I need to move the start date earlier, I have to adjust each one individually. I have tried hard and soft constraints, but cannot get that time gap to remain fixed. With thousands of tasks and years on the schedule, this can get a little tedious. I have looked some macros that may help this, but haven't found anything to fit the bill. I welcome any advice, and thank you in advance for your help Tag: How to hide task and project which is cancelled or finished Tag: 142496

    - Earned Values not Calculating With New Baseline I have used MS Project 2007 to create a construction schedule. The schedule is cost loaded, but will not calculate my Earned Values correctly for Task Items that have lag (Ex: 100% Complete, but only 30% of cost is showing) . These lagged items are incomplete work items that have been re-scheduled to start/continue at the next possible date. I have looked at the resources and they show, for example: XYZ [129%]. I have also checked my dates and percent complete to make sure that everything is correct...and it is. How can I get my earned values to calculate correctly?

    - Upgrading Project 2003 Licenses to 2007 I already have a number of Microsoft Project 2003 licenses in use in my UK enterprise but now have a need to upgrade a number of users to 2007 due to a major supplier making the switch and compatibility issues when collaborating on project plans. I was wondering, considering I am not going to be using the 2003 licenses any more, if there was any discount available on the 2007 license for existing users of 2003? I cannot find any information about licensing upgrades on Microsoft's UK site although the US one gives details of a discounted price for and upgrade from 2003. Procurement haven't been much help either and have just quoted me for new 2007 licenses. Considering this is about 30 licenses there may be a significant cost saving to be made here if such a discount is available.

    - Formula check and indicator anomaly This is Project Pro 2007 with SP1 and several hotfixes (with Project Server), but NOT the infrastructure update yet. The field is an enterprise task field, but my validation is ALL in Project Pro. It doesn't work as expected in the Project Pro client. I have a formula that returns useful information: slippage = finish variance/baseline duration, and it behaves the way I think it should. If I have a negative variance, it gives me a negative result. I then add on graphical indicators with the following order: slippage equals #error = blank slippage less than or equal to 0 = green slippage greater than 0.2 = red slippage less than 0.2 = yellow. I set up 4 tasks of 10 days and baseline them. I display the slippage column and it all glows green. Excellent I change task 1 duration to 11 days and it goes yellow. Excellent I change task 2 duration to 12 days and it goes red. Excellent I remove the baseline from task 3 and it goes blank. Excellent all good. Now I change the duration of task 4 to 8 days, and it goes yellow. WAIT! it's supposed to be green. The FIRST test is less than or equal to zero. Why doesn't that test work? I've recreated the field, I've deleted cache and profile and EGT... still NOTHING. Any thoughts? Anyone else care to try? Thanks for your help!

    - Top Down or Bottom Up? I would think that entering the project top down would work out better most of the time for most projects. Right? Should I start with the major milestones, then the highest level tasks, then work my way down? Tag: How to hide task and project which is cancelled or finished Tag: 142396

    - overtime What are some of the best strategies for determining whether to have employees on a project work OT or not? Also, where in Project (views/tables) should I look to see what effect adding OT on a particular task would have on (1) the duration and the (2) cost? I've been viewing the Gantt Chart and splitting the window to see the task form. If I change the form to display the Resource Work, then increase the Ovt Work value, I can see the duration update. (the task is fixed work) I've also tried viewing the Task Usage on top (with the Cost table) and the task form on bottom. This seems to work well but wondered if there's a better way to do/see this. How do all you MVP's handle this? Tag: How to hide task and project which is cancelled or finished Tag: 142393

Tuyen,
The only way to "hide" tasks in Project is to filter them out. One
simple way is to use a spare flag field and then filter on that field.

Hope this helps.

Microsoft Communities --

I assume you are using Project Server 2003. If so, in the future please
post your Project Server questions in the microsoft.public.project.server
newsgroup, as this newsgroup is dedicated to the Microsoft Project desktop
application only. To answer your question, refer to the following FAQ which
gives you a process for archiving completed projects so that the projects
and tasks in them are hidden:

http://www.projectserverexperts.com/ProjectServerFAQKnowledgeBase/ArchiveCompletedProjects.aspx

You will need to tweak the methodology presented in the FAQ to hide
cancelled projects as well. Hope this helps.
