Hi there, Fairly new to Project 2007 - but not to project management. I wonder if someone can shed some light on the following. I have a task on a plan with resource ASH 75% loading. The task was due to take 6 days and was sheduled as 75% thus the elapsed as 8 days. ASH put extra hours in and finished the task early but using the full time allocation. When I enter the actual end date / hours taken etc. the calculations do one of two things. 1. If I say complete 100%, 0 remaining and actual finish date the task duration changes to 6 days (fine as the elapsed is 6 days), but the actual hours change to 36. 2. If I say complete 100%, 0 remaining, 48hours actual and actual finish date the task duration changes to 8 days, actual hours 48 but end date changes back to 8 day elapsed from start. I was hoping to show that the task has finished early but keep the actual hours correct. Any ideas?? Regs -- Andy H JAZ Computer Services www.jazcomputerservices.co.uk
Hi, Simplest solution (there are several) is to fuirst set the assignment units to 100% and then put tha task to 100% complete.
