Font for Baseline Schedule Task Bar

Posted: 11 Jan 2005 11:27 AM PST

Hi Ryan,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

This is not built into Project. A way round it is to have, say, text to the
right of the bar for the baseline and Text to the left for the task for the
actual task bar. Then format the Left text differently from the right.

Custom fields in reports....

Asolepius,
You can't get a timescaled custom field (i.e. monthly invoiced cost)
displayed directly in a report or view in Project. That is because
Project does not know how to timescale the custom values values. It
might be linear and it might not.

You are right in that only a single row of field data is displayed in
the crosstab report. That shows one of the limitations with the built-in
reports. When I need to create a timescaled or other custom report, I
always use VBA. Although the utility "analyze timescaled data in Excel"
will export basic timescaled data from Project to Excel, nothing beats a
custom macro to get exactly the data you want in exactly the format you
want. Using VBA you can also generate timescaled data for your custom
cost. All you need to do is define how the custom cost is spread and
then let the VBA code create it.

BTW, what's a "top post"?

Hope this helps.

Cost control

Posted: 11 Jan 2005 07:21 AM PST

Yes you can do calculated fields but how do you handle something like a task
that has expenses for travel, hotels, meals, car rental, etc, etc yet
there's only one "fixed cost" field for non-resource attributable items like
that? I suggest using Excel to compute the actual total for the various
non-resource costs of the task and then link that back into the Project
fixed cost field where it then can be summed with the resource costs to come
up with the total cost for the task of interest.

Steve,
Good to know that your advice to your students about Project is better
than you taste in beer! :)

Gantt Chart View

Posted: 10 Jan 2005 04:07 PM PST

I follow you now, Jan. When I hide a column, I never use the shortcut,
because it deletes the column for some reason. Have never figured out
why it's called "Hide". I always just click and drag the column divider
to the left over to the adjacent column divider. Of course, that really
"hides" the column, doesn't delete it. Do it from the menu often
enough, and you'll have no columns left!
In fact, both methods work, just a difference in style.

Kai,

You might find that in this forum, top-posting is the standard and needs no
correction.
The reasons for this are obvious given enough thinking about the issue.
This is not your father's usenet.

Earned Value - Tracked by Month

Posted: 10 Jan 2005 02:33 PM PST

The problem may be in entering the actual cost as an aggregate. You need to
put in the actual cost for each task on the dates that the costs were
accrued. If I have a 5 days task running Monday thru Friday, 8 hours a
days, resource getting $10/hr, displaying the work row would show 8 hours
each day and the cost row in the resource usage view should show Actual Cost
of $80 on Mon, same for Tue, same for Wed, thu Fri. Let Project calculate
the total by month based on your entry of the figures on the dates the work
was performed. ACWP is a calculated value based on the progress of the work
for the most part. Actual Cost Work Performed

add multiple start/finish dates in a single task

Posted: 10 Jan 2005 12:41 PM PST

Had a thought - you could adapt the user-defined fields that are usually
used for interim plans. [Start] and [Finish] would then be the actual task
schedule, [Start1] and [Finish1] could be used for the Objective start and
finish, and [Start2] and [Finish2] could hold the Threshold start and
finish. You could then create new bar styles for the Gantt chart to display
task bars for each entry on the same line as the scheduled start and finish
is now. But my comments in my previous reply still stand - it looks like
you're getting very inventive with regard to what the task start and finish
dates and durations signify and that usually results in a very misleading
plan. One can call a turnip an apple if one likes, but the resulting recipe
usually makes for a very strange tasting pie <grin>.

Project Server Spooler Error

Posted: 10 Jan 2005 09:12 AM PST

Cindy --

The error indicates that you have a local resource in your project. A local
resource is any resource you typed into the Resource Sheet view and which
you did not add to the project team using Tools - Build Team from
Enterprise. To eliminate this problem, do the following:

1. Open the project
2. Click View - Resource Sheet
3. Double-click the local resource
4. Set the Workgroup value to None
5. Click OK
6. Save the project
7. Click Collaborate - Publish - All Information

Hope this helps.
