Questions & answers for MS Project software
Dear Planners,
I am user of Primavera, but the company I am working with is using MS Project 2010, the concepts are mainly the same with different views, but I well know that in Primavera you can not assign resourse or cost to the activity, however in MS project I think you can?

Dear Planners,
I created a new calendar different from the standard calendar and I would like this calendar to be assigned to my project, in order to do that, in the project information window I changed the calendar from standard to the calendar I already created.
But, when I added a task calendar column in the gantt chart view, I got "None" under the task calendar, so I have to change it manually.

Hi. I have an MSP task calendar that reflects that those working to that calendar have every other Friday off.
I would like to create a filter that will highlight which tasks are affected by these Fridays. This seems to be defined as "what tasks have a start date before the off-Fridays and end after the off-Fridays". This calendar causes work on the task to stop on end of day Thursday and resume on Monday.
Dear Planners,
How to update schedule in MSP, I mean whatever the percentage you enter for tasks, the completion date is not changed anymore, not like Primavera?

Hello,
I am a beginner user of MS project, so my query may seem a bit silly.
I would like to make a histogram to illustrate the manpower allocated to the project on a daily basis. The video below shows a similar histogram.

I have tried to use “Resource Usage” to produce this histogram, but it was not good enough.
Can anyone please let me know of a better way to produce this histogram?
Hi,
I have developed a project plan (which includes a % complete and a % planned column) and I wish to insert 3 types of indicators to show me how I am advancing with the progress of each activity:
Green: Shows the activity is on target
Yellow: Shows that the activity is between 1%-10% behind schedule
Red: Shows that the activity is greater than 10% behind schedule
First of all, apologies if this has been covered in a previous post - I have gone back 3 years on this board and not been able to find the answer!!
Using MSP2007, I have been asked to produce a fairly basic EV report, and thought that MSP would be the ideal tool to do this. There are a number of tasks that roll up under three separate summary bars (Design, Procurement, Construction).
