    MS Project & @Risk

    Hi, is there anyone who is using MS Project in combination with @Risk, a system for introducing risk and uncertainty in planning schedules. I should like to exchange views and experiences. Why an easy solution if you can make it complicated? Greetings from the Netherlands

    restricting access to some project data

    Pfff, if your electrical engineering project manager is only allowed to SEE electrical engineering items the easiest and simplest way to make a filter for these tasks and make a pfd of the filtered data. However, how do you expect to allow somebody to make changes without having to take other...

    Convert to Excel Without Reformatting

    If I see your example you want to see the date without the time./ Indeed this can be achieved with a formula. I would anyhow not use DATEVALUE but rather DATE. This as DATEVALUE is language dependent and requires a lot more extra gimmicks. Why not use INT or FIX and the appropriate formatting...

    Building a repetetive project file

    Actually I do not understand clearly what you want to achieve. Do you mean that you have 15 repetitive tasks, one for each location? It looks as if you have different resources. Do you mean per repetitive task(series)or for the individual tasks within the various overall repetitive tasks? What...

    Resource Management - 10 projects, 10 resources, 1 project manager

    I can not agree that MS Project would not be capable of handling scheduling conflicts across several projects. When you want to apply levelling for over-allocated resources you can specify to do this minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, week by week or month by month. It is indeed...

    Gantt Chart View vs. Tracking Gantt View

    That complaint about never to be able to establish a baseline is perhaps one of the greatest mistakes people using MS Project can make. You can set a baseline at any moment. It is easy to select certain tasks and update the baseline for these only. Also there is the possibility to save 10...

    Gantt Chart View vs. Tracking Gantt View

    Each view within MS Project can be tailored independently. So it is no wonder that views appear differently. Also the headers and footers can be different, thus adding flexibility. Right click on an empty place within the Gantt chart(s) and choose Bar Styles... There you will see the different...

    Zoom In or Out WBS Area?

    Hi RedD, I was not thinking of the price but mainly the functionality. Of course you can zoom in the Gantt chart if you want to see hours, days, weeks and so on. Your problem seems to be insufficient resolution of your beamer or TV. At least that is what I understand having read again your...

    Zoom In or Out WBS Area?

    It is very human to compare a (new) piece of software with what one already knows and to insist that the same gadgets are available. Of course the learning curve may be too steep. However, there are so many options within MS Project to get what you want, also giving superior scheduling...

    Convert to Excel Without Reformatting

    Although you are not very fast in responding I would still be prepared to look into your problem, although without any guarantee that I can solve it. I will be away a few days next week as well. However, the sooner you upload something the faster I can find some spare moments. In addition can...

    Resource Management - 10 projects, 10 resources, 1 project manager

    In principle you don't have to open all projects. However, when having updated a project and saving it you may be asked if you want to update other projects all well. While setting-up your projects, however, it is essential that you have opened the pool first in order to use the external...

    Importing External schedule into a Master- Different calendar options

    Have you in mean time discovered what Custom Fields are and how to use these? Or should I try to upload a few example files? However, this may take some time as I am very busy next week. Why an easy solution if you can make it complicated? Greetings from the Netherlands

    Problem with IF statement

    If you would ever have had a look at the sorting order for VLOOKUP you would have noticed that this is for ascending ...; -2; -1; 0; 1; 2; ... ; A-Z; FALSE; TRUE [I use ; as list separator] On the other hand Excel does [if needed] a lot of implicit conversion in which TRUE would be converted to...

    Show only certain Tasks and Columns in a MPP file.. AND Help with VBA

    Actually I did not look at your code at all. I wonder what you are really up to. I get the feeling that you want others only to have a look at your view and nothing more. Hiding would, as far as I know, not help a bit as everyone would be able to add columns again. I would make a separate view...

    Zoom In or Out WBS Area?

    Any development or did you give up? Perhaps you can upload a (small) sample file or perhaps there is a possibility to send something to me privately. [Normally first Zip the MS Project file]. Please add an explanation what yoy want to see after applying the filter. Why an easy solution if you...

    Convert to Excel Without Reformatting

    Do you expect to provide a sample MS Project file + explanation why export to Excel is necessary or have you forgotten about the issue? Why an easy solution if you can make it complicated? Greetings from the Netherlands

    Importing External schedule into a Master- Different calendar options

    You may have to experiment with the correct value for Flag20 in your master project. It is rather easy to give a field the same value in several consecutive rows. Why an easy solution if you can make it complicated? Greetings from the Netherlands
