Shifting all dates in MS-Project
Shifting all dates in MS-Project
(OP)
Hello, thank you in advance for your help with Project. I'll try to be as descriptive as possible.
I currently have an MS Project file with multiple milestone dates, and I need to create another MS Project file with the exact same events, but shifted to reflect a different set of milestone dates. (IE: Project 1 runs from Apr 7 to Sep. 26, and project 2 runs from April 7 - November 16th).
The first project file is done, but I need to find a way to change the milestone dates in project 2 so that it will shift all the other tasks forward to account for the new milestone dates. Example:
Milestone 1 - Apr 7
Task 1 has to start from Milestone 1 date + 5 days
Task 2 has to start from Milestone 1 date + 7 days
Milestone 2 - May 15
Task 3 has to start from Milestone 2 date + 2 days
... etc etc.
Is this possible?
Thank you kindly for your help!

RE: Shifting all dates in MS-Project
If everything is individually dated with no real linkages, then you'll have to reenter all the dates.
For example, your second milestone should have a precessor linkage of [linenumber of milestone 1]SS+26, your Task1 should have a predessor linkage of [linenumber of milestone 1]SS+5, and so on.
