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.

How can the delay (in days) shown in a schedule ?

Hi Deb,

You can assign Project Must Finish by Date (same as contractual completion date Or Target Project completion date). For assigning this date, you have to open the project, go to File, Project Overview, Project Must Finish By.

After assigning the above date, schedule the project and then add a column of Total Float, this will help you to identify "Real Delayed Activities" as sometimes Early/Late variance may be -ve but still activity may have +ve total float meaning activity itself is delayed and delayed it’s successors but still it has not delayed entire project.

Hope this will help you.

Pranab,

In P3 you can see the target Early/Late Variance for start and finish of activity or summary.

Insert a column and get the desired variance you want.

Ashraf
