Hi there,

I currently have an overall project (design office) with 3 inserted sub-projects (project #, holiday schedule and off site visits). They are all outline level 1.

Under projects are obviously different project numbers and indented in that are further sub tasks.

Late Finish and Slack Calculation in Microsoft Project

J
Justin Bell 👤 Member for 14 years 10 months

Why does the Late Finish date for an in progress activity with negative slack no longer calculate using the backwards pass? On a task in this situation the Late Finish is displayed as being the same as the Early Finish and the Finish, but the slack is still negative as if calculated from a Late Finish date that does not match the Early Finish and the Finish.

The Late Finish date for unstared activities with negative slack is calculated using the backwards pass.

How do I generate ManHour graph by either Roles or Tasks using Microsoft Project

S
shola ojo 👤 Member for 15 years 5 months

All,

I have been asked to resource load Microsoft Project and then generate Manhour graph by either "roles" or "tasks". I have used Primavera P6 to perform the same, but never Microsoft Project. Please provide any tips. I have to submit in 4hours.

Unique ID of a summary task

How do I find the Unique ID of the summary task header.

For Example:

Task 1 UID 1

Task 1_1 UID 2

Task 1_2 UID 3

Task2 UID 4

Task 2_1 UID 5

Task 2_2 UID 6



So if I am on Task 2_2 for example, the unique ID of its summary record would be 4.



I can find predecessor and successor ID but not the ID of the summary task for any task.



Cheers

David
