Hi Bilal,

The summary uses the default calendar. Your start & finish date are the same only the Original Duration is different. This has been discussed many times here in PP.

The solution is not show your group total.

Regards.

Hi Punit,

Mr. Alex is right however, the problem is your question. You have to be specific & clear. I don’t know if this is the answer to your question.

If you will go to Enterprise --> Project --> Defaults --> Calendar and change the calendar it will be only effective for all new activities to be added & inserted.

Now, you can change your calendar assigned for all the existing Activities using GLOBAL CHANGE. Use this parameter:

Calendar = "Select Calendar"

The "Select Calendar" above is the one available calendar you have.

If you wanted to change the calendar for the selected activities only then you need to filter prior to run Global change.

Regards,

Arnold

Hi Punit,

What you’ve to do is first create the calendar and assign in the Project details view and then continue with activities. If you first type the activities and then assign the project calendar, it will not consider and instead it will consider only for new activities and not the old. For changing the Project calendar to the existing activities you need to insert the column calendar in the activities view and assign the calendar.

You can assign either Global or Project as the Project Calendar.

Dear Alexandre / Arnol,
Thanks for the time you lent.
I exactly did the same stuff and calender has been assigned. But is it Global or Project one? Generally when we go to calender window, it askes for three options to choose from. Global, Resouce and project. I went for projects and selected on the calenders from the available calender ( i think global ones ). What I suppose that this is my project calender and any further change I want, I can simply import them from available global calender. But then how can I assign this to the project I want? Becoz, When I saw the activity status, I did not find the same caleder there.Can u help me this? Thanks buddy.
