Actual Finish and Duration are Whacky
Actual Finish and Duration are Whacky
(OP)
1. I have subtasks that are supposed to last 7 days each and you have to finish one to start the next. I have entered actual start and finish dates on the tasks completed so far. They all took longer than 7 days. Durations are being generated that seem to make no sense in relation to the task.
I don't understand where these seemingly whacky Durations are coming from. Can anyone advise?
2. The next subtask begins today as the last task ended yesterday. Under Update Tasks/Current, Start is 4/23 which is today and is correct. Finish is labled as 5/13 and does not have an option for me to change it. 5/13 is incorrect. Duration is correctly labled 7 days. Remaining duration is correctly labled 7 days.
What is up with this screwy Finish Date?

If this is done and you can't get your project to behave the way you want it, then it's time to start digging. MSProject is extremely powerful and that means extremely complex. Luckily there is a world of useful resources beyond this forum out there on the web. This one doesn't seem to get a lot of traffic.
