New to MS Project 02. How do you schedule vacation time.

Posted: 05 Apr 2005 07:29 AM PDT

I could schedule it all at the end of the year. We were using a product
called Project WorkBench, which allowed us to spread it out over the year.

Exporting a report to Excel

Jack,
The Cash Flow report is a timephased report, therefore you need
something that will export timephased data. There are several choices,
some better some not.

The easiest but most tedious is a copy and paste. Probably not what you
want.

Another method you might try is to use the "Analyze timescaled data in
Excel" utility found on the Analysis toolbar. Try exporting from the
Task Usage view. It is likely you will have to do some manipulation of
the data to get the format you want.

The most flexible method is via a custom VBA macro. Using that method
you can get whatever report data and format you need, including
automated data manipulation in Excel. I use this method all the time.

Hope this helps.

Updating Milestone Dates

Posted: 05 Apr 2005 04:09 AM PDT

I'm a bing believer that there are no such things as "milestone dates."
There are milestone *events* - signifigant things that happen during the
course of a project and of course they happen at specific points in time,
but the milestone is the event itself and not the date on which it happens
to occur. Project's basic function is calculating dates. Left to its own
devices, it will calculate the date on which a certain milestone will occur
if you work the plan in the way it is currently outlined. If you want the
milestone to occur on a different date from the one you see, you must do
something proactive to the scheduling of the predecessor driving events to
make it so - simply decalring that it will happen on XX date is not in and
of itsxelf sufficient to make it happen then. The milestone is at the tail
end of a chain of causality and it will happen whenever that chain off
events causes to to happen. Now that's not to say it may not have a
requirement that you have to meet - far from it, it very likely has such a
requirement. You can best represent that requirement with a deadline - now
you'll see that date you have to hit and the date the schedule as you've
perently designed it ordains that you will hit. If the milestone event
doesn't occur when you need it to, you need to change the driving forces so
that it does and comparing the calculated date where it does occur with the
deadline date where it should occur tells you if you have been successful or
not in planning your strategy.

Can I turn off Work Unit Duration Calculation? Fixed Duration & Wo

Posted: 04 Apr 2005 05:49 PM PDT

There's nothing in the W-D-U identity that precludes Project doing this
calculation exactly the way you want it. You're overlooking the "U" in that
equation. Joe spending 20 days to do 2 days of work represents at 10%
units(if he was working at 100% and needed to do 2 days work, the duration
wouldn't 20 days, it would be 2 days). Jane spending 20 days to do 5 days
of work means she's working at 25% units. After changing the duration to 15
days, Project will recalculate Joe's units required to produce 2 days of
work over a 15 day duration at ~13% with Jane will now be 33%.

Thanks. We are trying to segregate using an hyperlink address to retrieve
current data as opposed to using a notes field to link to a source within a
directory.
