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 Hatem,

I addition to what Ronald said, check your user prefences -> Dates -> Time, check the box next to 12 hour. Check your project must finish date against with your Activity finish date. try to change the 12:00AM to 5:00PM

Try to compare these two things, thy must be equal in date and in time.


Regards,

Arnold

P5 works in hours & minutes but you have elected to view the results in days. This means that it has to round -0.5 days of float up to read “-1.” Change your user preferences to view hours and minutes and to see your durations with decimal fractions and you will probably see the cause of your odd reading. Good luck!
