    - 'blue cells' ??? Just started working with MSP 2007 (last time used Project was MSP 98) and am getting blue shaded cells after entering revisions to start dates etc. Seems like some sort of 'notification', but not sure. Ideas ? Also, could someone offer a good user manual type reference that might come at a reasonable price ? -- akm Thanks again for your help. ---- Ah, the miracle of computers!... someone also said "To error is human, but to really screw up it takes a computer!"

    - Change Work field default to change hours, not duration? When you change the Work field, a drop-down list will appear with the option to Decrease/Increase the number of work hours but keeps the task duration the same. I'm in IT so very few resources have a 100% allocation to one project. An 8 hour activity may take 2 peopel 4 days. I'm not about to try to calculate resource % allocations per every task to eventually come up with the duration AND work hours I need. My scheduling effort would increase 3 fold. I've been told that there is a way to change to default so that, when you update the Work field, it will not recaluculate the Duration field. We can't figure out how to get that done. Does anyone else know? Tag: How to sort 'selected' cells ??? Tag: 137788

    - Work Rollup-Level Totals One of the project managers I work with showed me a project schedule into which she has begun entering task estimates; she asked why the totals of most rollup-level tasks are wrong. For example (this is one of many), a group task has 3 sub-tasks of 2 days work each. But the roll-up total is 8 days. I can't explain it. Where do I look? What am I missing?

    - How to find these posts again?? I can not permlink to them! How can I find posts to Microsoft Communities again in the future?

    - Update project dialog issue I am using MSOP 2007 standard. I have two tasks in particular in my schedule. Task 3 is linked to task 2. Task 2 is 80% complete, started on 4/1/08, Task 3 is 10% complete and started on 4/29/08. I want to reschedule my remaining work. I go to Tools-Tracking-Update Project-I select Reschedule uncomplet work to start after 5/7/08 For Entire project. When this is selected only task 2 is updated. I can go through this sequence again and task 3 is finally updated. Why? Am I missing something here? I would expect project to go through each task and reschedule the remaining work based on the predecessors. For instance if task 2s new completion date is June 23 and task 3 is linked to task 2 with a FS relationship and has 20 hours remaining, I would expect project to split task 3 leaving the actuals in tact and reschedule the remaining 20 hours to start June 24th. Any ideas? Tag: How to sort 'selected' cells ??? Tag: 137775

    - 2 Questions - New to Project Hi All, I am a Application Trainer and have just started to get familiar with Project in regards to teaching it. I had a student send me an email with 2 questions, and I'm not yet familiar enough with the software to be able to tackle these for him. I am about to start poking around and see if I can figure it out, but I figured I'd post here and at least see if you all could point me in the right direction, or offer some advice solutions. I'll post his email below, and thanks in advance for anything you can provide! -- Situation#1 Can I copy Resource Usage view Text fields into Task Usage Text fields? Text is text, right !!!! ??? I am using an external software program called MPM (Micro-frame Program Management software). It is a software program that will pull data from MS Project via a field mapping process. It will pull data from the Task Usage view/fields as well from the Resource Usage view/fields. However, the fields I am seeking to pull from MS Project are not aligned with the fields of the MPM software. Populating our MS Project file has placed data in both the Task Usage view and also the Resource Usage view(via Resource Table). Due to the way the scheduler populated the WBS field in the Task Usage field ( the information is incomplete) vs. the way he populated the WBS info in the Resource Usage view, it is necessary that I copy Resource Usage view Text fields into the Task Usage view Text fields in order to have my external software be able to pull data from our project file. Furthermore, the detail level of the WBS (Parent WBS ID, WBS ID, Control Acct labeling, etc) in the Resource Usage is acceptable and I want to use it. This data does not appear in the Task Usage view and must be copied into the Task Usage view Text fields in order for the data to be mapped into MPM. I believe this can be done. I see things in MS Project that say â??import fieldâ?? and what about copy paste. Canâ??t I just copy paste the data ??? Do you know the process to be able to do such a feat? Do the Text field numbers in the Task Usage view and the Resource Usage view have to be same in order for the data to be copied into the other view? Situation#2 Renaming of Resource Usage view Text field names I am trying to change the name of Text Field #5 that has already been renamed. Text 5 has been renamed using Tools Custom Field commands. The dialogue box pops up and then you type in the name that you wish to appear in the title box of the field/column in your project file. The scheduler customized Text 5 from Text 5 to WP or PP Id as it appears in the project file. It appears as WP or PP Id(Text 5) in the Custom Fields dialogue window. I want the Text 5 field to appear as Resource WP or PP Id in the project file. I went to the Custom Field dialogue window and changed the Text 5 to appear as Resource WP or PP Id; however, it only appears WP or PP Id in the project file but does appear as Resource WP or PP Id(Text 5) in the Custom Field dialogue window. Are there a maximum number of characters allowed for each Text Field title? How do I achieve the renaming goal I am seeking? Tag: How to sort 'selected' cells ??? Tag: 137772

    - Adjust Dates I am trying to use the Adjust Dates button to advance an MS Project 2000; however there appears to be a problem with some tasks which take place over the weekend. I have created a calendar which I have called weekend and I have made Saturday and Sunday the only working days and I have allocated the appropriate tasks to this calendar. The problem is that when I look on the Gannt Chart the weekends where there is work have not moved as predicted. I am sure that I am doing something wrong, but I have only been using Project for a couple of weeks. Thanks in advance. Tag: How to sort 'selected' cells ??? Tag: 137768

Rest of the week I am underallocated with only 3 hours/day.

    - work and actual work problem The baseline work estimated for a task is 12 hours. Later when I became more clear of the requirement I entered 10 hours into Work field of the task as a more accurate value. When I completed this task I realized that I only spent 5 hours on the task, I entered this value into Actual Work. The %work completed should be 100%. When I went to change the % Work Completed to 100% the Actual Work automatically changed to 10 hours. Then I when I changed the Actual Work back to 5 hours, the % Work Completed automatically changed to 50%........ According to the definition, % Work Completed= Actual Work / Work. Is it possible to keep this set of value at all: Work = 10 hours Actual Work = 5 hours % Work Completed = 100% thanks in advanced! Tag: How to sort 'selected' cells ??? Tag: 137759

    - Replacing Resource Assignments Need some ideas on best practices for reassigning resources. Scenario: Plan has been created, resources assigned, baselined and published. Then for whatever reason, some of the assignments need to be changed to a different resource. Not ALL assignments need to be changed so the Build Team From Enterpise & Replace feature is not a viable option. My method for changing assignments has always been to assign the new resource to the task without rebaselining. I assign work but don't rebaseline so baseline work=0 for new resource. Then I ask the original resource to simply zero out the remaining work or reject the tasks they are no longer going to work on. The problem with this method now is that we are using baseline work as a factor in our availability reports so if i don't rebaseline the task (NOT a best practice in my book), the data in the availability reports won't show up correctly. If I simply replace the original named resource with the new resource and republish the assignment, the original task stays on the user's PWA timesheet with an X next to it... and I'm not quite sure what happens if they had actual work against that task. For the sake of reporting availability accurately, if the actual work stays in the plan, simply replacing the resource may be the best method... In which case I'll just have to do lots of training on how and when to use the "hide" button to get rid of those deleted assignments. Ideas, suggestions??? Thanks!

    - Alternative View to a Schedule - Need Help! All, Is there a way to write a macro to take the identified Milestones listed below a summary task in a schedule, Create Columns labeled/titled with those same Milestones and fill in the corrosponding Finish Dates? This particular schedule has underneath each Summary Task the same Milestones/subtasks, basically everything is duplicated. My bosses boss has requested this kind of view. I know many will say just create an Excel Spreadsheet but, we want to do this view in Project and it seems it would be faster if a macro where created.

    - Resource Pooling and client rates I'm trying to figure out how to solve an issue I have, and it's not overly apparent to me. Basically, I want to link many projects to a shared resource pool so that I have a single point of entry for holidays, working hours etc (we're a web development agency). This is so we can track resource usage, and scheduling around holidays etc. This is all working fine. However, I would like to set different rates for resource on different projects. ie Person A might cost $300 to Client A, versus $500 for Client B. How can I set this up? Is it possible?

No, when you sort, the sorting is applied on up to three fields, but it is
not possible to sort only a block of cells only. Hope this helps.

akm,
Sure, but you'll need to set up a spare flag field for a selection
criteria. Sort on the flag field as a first criteria and then on the
data you want.

You might find a filter followed by a sort more useful for selected data.
Or, try the grouping function. It's under Project/Group by/Customize
group by.

Hope this helps.
