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.

Guys,

Sometimes when I import progress into P3 say in the order below;

Activity Id Percentage Actual Start ActualFinish
AB1000 100% 23/07/08 23/07/08


P3 stores the Actual start and finish dates in the order below;

Actual Start Actual Finish
23JUL08 00:00A 22JUL08 23:59A

Hence making the actual duration 0; has anyone faced this challenge before? Please share how you dealt with it... Thanks...

Bro;

Just please check your calendar. You are in days duration that is why when you put your actual start same as finish the duration will of course be 0. Please remember that your activity is a task type, so it needs a duration to show.

I just realised it didn’t post properly;

Sometimes when I import progress into P3 say in the order below;

Activity Id = AB1000
Percentage = 100%
Actual Start = 23/07/08
Actual Finish = 23/07/08


P3 stores the Actual start and finish dates in the order below;

Actual Start = 23JUL08 00:00A
Actual Finish = 22JUL08 23:59A
