hello,

I have the following problem. I am trying to create a project plan that will show the following.

I have a Main Task that should last 4 months. So starts September 1st and finished December 31st. This task has 3 sub tasks which will take place during those 4 months, however the length my work in the subtasks is as follows:

Task1 lasts 20 days
Task2 lasts 10 days
Task3 lasts 10 days.

For the life of me I cannot get the main task to show 4 months and then the subtasks to show 20,10 and 10? Has anyone any idea how this can be displayed in MS Project?

Thanks
 
Are you refering to a Summary Task? You simply indent the subtasks under it.

and connect the subtasks together using the predessor column with a Finish to Start relationship.
