Re: How to print time range on Gantt chart
Hello redmadcap,
I'm not sure I follow exactly what you are trying to do -- I think
you want to show the start time and finish time of the task above
each bar on the Gantt chart .
As you may have discovered, you can add field values to the bars
through Format > Bar Styles, selecting the bar (Task, Critical,
etc.) and then specifying the field you wish to show and the
position on the "text" tab. You can add the [start] field or the
[finish] field, but it will show date and time, so the challenge is
showing just the time part of the start and finish field.
So, to that end, you'll need a custom field with a formula. Add a
text field to the table and then add a formula through Tools >
Customize > Fields. The following formula pulls the date portion
only from the start and finish fields:
Format([Start],"hh:mm") & " to " & Format([Finish],"hh:mm")
Then show the text field above the task bar through Format > Bar
Styles.
I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
