Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

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.

Hi Guys,

I have 2 stand alone projects (with targets) which have been made sub-projects to a new project group. Now, how do I display their Targets at the project group level ?

Any help out there ?

John

Make a copy of new project group (eg.PG01) and rename it (eg.PG02). The subproject will be copied together. Set PG01 as a baseline (target) schedule and PG02 as current working file. Go to Tools > Project Utilities > Targets and set PG01 as a target file for PG02.

Regards.

Hi john,

If you have the two target projects, combine them in the same way you did with the updated projects, in a multi project file, and add the same sub-project id’s, and use this group as your new target.

You would have to prefix the activity id’s in your target plan with the same prefix you used to create your sub-projects.

This can be done with a Global Change (Actid = xx&actid), though depending on how your activity id is made up you may need to use the ltrim or left/right text functions.
