Work / Status date

Hello,

 

Need some help with a problem I have regarding work distribution in MS Project 2010.

 

Problem;

 

Task A

Duration: 5 days

Work: 30 hours

Start: 2013-03-04

Finish: 2013-03-08

 

Status date: 2013-03-05 (2days reporting)   

 

This means that the resource should work 12 hours.

 

But, actual is 15 hours.

 

Here is the problem, MS Project places 3 hours on the next day after status date which is wrong

'Group By' Duration Summary

H
Hugh McLeay 👤 Member for 14 years 2 months

Hi All, 

I've got a small programme in MS Project 2010, and am using 'Group By' function to summarise various phases. 

The summary value for 'duration' is not calculating correctly. Is showing the maximum duration within the group, rather than the latest finish minus earliest start. The start and finish dates for the summary bar are showing correctly though. 

I have all my durations entered as weeks, and have tried changing the setting for "duration is entered in..." box in the options menu, with no success. 

Any suggestions?
