    - Order of details under Resource in Who does What Report I am a very new user of Project 2003 and am trying to edit the Who does What report. I want to sort the detail under each Resource so that each person can see a list of their tasks in Start Date order. I have tried editing the report but nothing seems to generate the list under each resource in this way. If I canâ??t do this via the report editing options, is there a way round this? I tried exporting the data to Excel but then all the Tasks and Resource names ended up in the same column so I would still have to do further editing every time I need a new report when the plan changes. Would really appreciate some help. -- Margaret als Tag: How can I send tasks from project 2002 to my outlook calendar? Tag: 84853

    - Added Calculated Fields to the Roll-Up tasks How do I add calculated fields to calculate at the roll-up level? I want the same equation that is used on a parent's children to be performed on the parent. Is this possible? The formula is extensive and contains nest if/thens, I don't believe this will be a problem, however I am drawing a blank as to where the roll-up tasks would be flagged? I know I could use a flag, however this would become cumbersome. Microsoft has already used some sort of flag to make the roll-ups become bold, therefore I believe what I am looking for to be possible.

    - Work schedule progress question I have a question about how I should display the following data in project. I will do this in picture form as it is much easier to understand this way. Week | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 4h 4h Task1 ------------ 5h 5h 5h Task2 ----------------- 4h 4h 4h 4h 4h 4h Task3 ---------------------------------- 2h 2h 2h 2h 2h Task4 ------------------------------ 1h 1h 1h Task5 ----------------- Cum 4h 13h 22h 31h 35h 41h 47h 53h 57h 60h hrs All these task are subtasks to a summary grouping. For example Task 4 is scheduled from the beginning of week 6 to the end of week 10 and has 5 hrs scheduled for each week. Thus the hours are scheduled linearly over each of the tasks but not over all the tasks combined. If I have completed 30 out of the 60 hrs I want to show a summary progress bar which runs from the beginning of week 1 to almost to the end of week 4. If I have completed 53 of the 60 hrs I want the bar to run from the beginning of week 1 to the end of week 8. I have no idea how to do this. Is this % complete, % work complete, physical % complete, BCWS, BCWP? Please help. Also, this is an example case. The real data is 10,000 rows of historical data grouped into many different outline levels. Also, I know project can do lots of things like change durations, hours, and all that, but I don't want to do that. I just want to show what I indicated above for all my summary progress bars.

    - Tasks that are dependent not changing start dates My setup is that I have many fairly small projects. The tasks are of short duration 1-4 hours normally. If task #1 doesn't get started (For example it was scheduled to start yesterday, I want the next task to be listed as starting tommorrow not today as was originally scheduled. I won't necessarily be opening that project or myslef even know that the task got started late, but I don't want the next person in line thinking they have a task starting today when the task above them didn't get done. I don't want it to show up in their tasks. I have current projects set to 1 day. I have set my dependencies up FS and added a day lag time. It doesn't seem to recalculate until I enter something into the task above, but I want it to keep moving the dates if it doesn't get started. -- Peg Smith Tag: How can I send tasks from project 2002 to my outlook calendar?

    - Schedule Progress I am trying to show schedule progress on a summary bar. For example if I have 60 hours of work to do over a ten week period, and 30 of these hours are scheduled to be done in the first four weeks, and I have completed 30 hours I want my summary progress bar to be 40% of the total summary bar rather than 50%. Consequently if 30 hours were scheduled over the first nine weeks and the remaining 30 hours were scheduled for week ten, I would want to show the progress bar as 90% of the total summary bar rather than 50. I thought I could use a summary progress bar which starts at [start] and ends at [% complete] to do this, but it doesn't look right.

Envisioning guidelines to: naming/describing the task, duration (e.g. 8/80 rule), establishing dependencies, assigning resources.

    - Deleted a filter, used by a view, and now cannot open the file Hello, I recently deleted a "filter" that was used by a "view". Apparantly that must have been the default view because now when I try to open the file I get the following error message: _____________________________ The filter "V - DDI - ALL - NOHLT" cannot be found You tried to display a view or use an import/export map that references a filter that is not available. - If you are trying to use a view, specify a different filter for the view - If you are exporting with a map, the export will continue without the application of a filter. _______________________________ Then, when I click "OK" or even if I just click on the "X" in the upper right hand corner I get the send error report message. Once that message comes up the application hangs until I click either the "Send Error Report" or "Don't Send" buttons. My problem is that I can't get into the file to fix the filter/view problem.

    - Multiple Resources & Resource Calendar I have three resources that must meet to discuss as situation. I assigned all three resources to the one task. However, one of the three will be absent on specific date so I updated that resource's calendar accordingly. When Project 2002 Professional determines the start/finish dates, it uses the day the one resource is absent. If remove the available resources, it does not schedule on that day. Is there a way (other that updating each resource's calendar to say they aren't available even though two are) to tell Project that all three resources must be present and thus, not to schedule the day the one resource is absent? -- Thank you, Michael Tag: How can I send tasks from project 2002 to my outlook calendar?

    - View Specific Date Range I have a 5-year project schedule. My boss needs a way to view only a 3-month period (July 1, 2005 - September 30, 2005). I know I can print a specific date range and filter a view for start date ranges. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to view a range where I have all tasks which start during the period and may finish after the end date (of the desired view). I would need for Project to slice the gantt chart on the desired end date. Example: Task A starts on 7/15/2005 and ends 6/1/2006. I want the gantt chart to only show 7/15/2005 through 9/30/2005 (for now) and keep the rest hidden. Thanks for any input. RC Tag: How can I send tasks from project 2002 to my outlook calendar?

    - Duration changes with multiple resources I have a project whose tasks total 600 hours. Of the 600 hours there are tasks and sub-tasks. If I add multiple resources (let's say 3 resources) for each task, the duration for each task shows 1/3 of the time of the total task. (i.e. a task estimated at 30 hours will show a duration of 10 hours after adding 3 resources at 100%). Project will also pull in the finish dates reflecting 10 hours of work instead of 30 (which is fine). How can I get Project to continue to reflect the actual total number of hours of effort (in this case 600) with multiple resources performing each task? My objective is to show that the project requires 600 hours of effort, but will not require 600 consecutive hours for completion. Thanks.
