How to enter dates in MS Project

Often when you build proposal schedules you don't want to show dates. You
only need the number of days to complete the project. Once you are awarded
the project and have a firm start date you convert to a date format. I think
this is what redleafsoft is looking for. (?)

How can I input data using an excel worksheet?

Posted: 09 Mar 2006 04:16 AM PST

Hi ,

This newsgroup is specifically for matters dealing with Microsoft Project.
I suggest you try to find a more appropriate newsgroup that deals with Excel
problems.

Master w/o resource pool

Posted: 09 Mar 2006 12:37 AM PST

Hi,

A master without a pool is perfectly safe.

When a user has read/write access to a file he can change anything, sorry.
But when the table exists in the global.mpt file he can always recover it
through tools, organizer.
Hope this helps,

Your only other option is to install a pdf driver and print to pdf files.

Task Usage Spreadsheet

You need to provide at least one clue to what you want to do!!!

Time scaled data is reasonably complex to understand and use. Read
Timescaledata method in VBA Help for an idea.

problem with duration not totalling up correctly

Posted: 08 Mar 2006 11:35 AM PST

I found something else after my last reply - Like I said I setup my Project
working time at the very beginning as 7:00am to 5:00 pm mon - sat (10 hours
per day and 60 hrs. per week) BUT when I go into tools>options>view and
change my date format to show date and time - then all my start and finish
start at 8:00am and finish 8:00 am the next day for a 1 day duration - why is
this when I set up the time in the very beginning - I am very confused. and
again I thank you for all your help

Overburden rate

Never heard it referred to as "Overburden", just "Burden". The only use
of the term overburden I can recall is in strip mining, where the top
level of rock and dirt contains no valuable materials, and is simply
removed to get to the "ore", the rock with values in it.
 

Excel Export - only 16384 rows out of 50000

Chach,
I guess I don't understand why the more efficient approach of saving
Project as an Access database isn't an option but let's look at some
other options.

I honestly don't know if Project limits the amount of data that can go
to an Excel Pivot Table, perhaps someone else has experience in that
area. However, assuming there is a limitation, one solution might be to
perform multiple exports (divide and conquer so to speak). This isn't
necessarily an elegant or convenient approach but sometimes a brute
force method can get the job done.

You mentioned you have a VBA script so you must have some experience
with VBA. You could write VBA code to export the data from Project
directly to Access. It may seem like overkill in lieu of a direct save
option but if a direct save is not an option....

You could also work directly with the Project database and perhaps use
an SQL query. It may get around whatever limitations you have with other
methods. For more information about the Project database structure, look
for a file named projdb.htm on your hard drive.

I'm not sure if any of this will help but at least it gives a few other
choices.

You are correct but it may not be quite as simple as that. See my latest

How do I enter negative hours and costs?

Posted: 08 Mar 2006 07:02 AM PST

Hi Dave and all,

I can't but jump in here... memories of a 28-year long fight with the
Finance division of IBM create a burst of emotions... you certainly don't
exagerate, I could add some more and even more juicy.

Back to the start, I don't understand why MS has bothered to NOT allow
negatives in Usage Views. Not only would it make some accountants happy, if
you just could enter negative usage for material tasks you could follow up
inventory... no investment, just leave out a test..

But then again, what may we expect of people who invest in castrating a
feature (Reschedule work) that worked absolutely splendidly up to P2000, and
now forces you to review constraints before using it: shame and scandal in
the family, but that's how it is.

Greetings,

Calculate summary rows for custom fields in MS Project

Posted: 07 Mar 2006 03:46 PM PST

That is unusual behavior. Try creating the same formula in another custom
field and set its Summary formula up.

How do I run a report with just past due tasks by resource?

Posted: 06 Mar 2006 08:57 AM PST

Create a custom View and Filter to show these tasks with the fields you want.
Then use the Print function. This is easily repeatable.
