Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hello

I use Powerproject 12 and when I enter the duration for a task and hit enter it defaults to seconds. Is there a way to make the duration column default to days unless another unit is entered?

I've tried formating cells, catogory duration and the time unit day with out result.

Hi Dan - Welcome to planning plannet.

Right Click on the top of the duration column.

Select Table definition

Select duration in the dropdown

In the right hand panel find Overide Time Unit and select the one you want.

Best regards
