Bo,

thank you for your valuable suggestion. i have tried changing the timescale and done it successfully.

I will inform you as and when I implement the function.

Yes, you can do it both for the timescale and the start/finish dates.

Timescale: choose "days" for units and then "1,2,3,4..(From Start)" under label

Start/Finish dates: here you need to add 2 custom durations field (or number fields), one for start and one for finish. Now add a formula for each field e.g. by using the built-in function "ProjDateDiff". The formula for the start date would be:

ProjDateDiff([Project Start];[Start])

assuming you have a 7 days /week calendar assigned as project calendar and similar for the finish:

ProjDateDiff([Project Start];[Finish])

Otherwise you just modify the above formula with respect to which calendar you want assigned (see MSP help).

You could also just do it by [Start]-[Project Start] but then you have to multiply with working minutes per day (e.g. 480 if 8 hours working day) and so on.

Regards,

Bo
