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,

I have prepared a schedule for 30 months with planning unit as DAYS. Now, i have been instructed by my PM to consider only 4 working hours during the ramzan month (4 weeks) against 8 hours during rest of the period.

In these four weeks, productivity for most of the items will be reduced by half.

So, can I add one more calender as planning Unit - HOUR, when i have already allocated calender with planning unit as DAY.

Any advise?

Hi Alex,

You are very correct if the total duration is in weeks then we should plan in hours e.g.shutdowns etc.

Thanks Ashraf for the immediate response given.

This doesn’t work, but yaa as alex said i have to show every alternate day in ramdan month as non-working, which is not correct logically, but thats the only solution.

Cheers,

Raviraj

Hi Alex/Ravi,

Have you tried copying this project with HOURS as planning unit. I hope if it works the solution will be much simple.

Hi Ravi,

The answer to your question is NO you cannot add one more calender as planning Unit - HOUR, when you have already allocated calender with planning unit as DAY.


You can try making a Calendar with equivalent working days (3 instead of 6). This may help to some extent.

Regards,

Ashraf
