Hi Trevor.
Yes you are rigth...my program only have the activities, the duration, the relationships and the resources but don’t have the cost...that last, but the price of the contract is global...
So, i tried to use excel to get the percent value of each activitie based in the duration of the same...on friend tell me the follow..."you can use the sum of the duration of all activities...if project show you 125 days...and you get 235 days but the sum don’t worry...cause that is the number of day to complete the project...but you have to take present something...some activities have duration underhand one over one..."
This is real?...
Thanks
I tried to see your picture on imageshack but could not.
Also, I am not sure that I understand from your description exactly what your problem/issue is.
However, I will try to figure it out.
So you have no resources and no costs assigned to the tasks.
You attempt to calculate something called "percent value" which is the duration of a task divided by the total duration of the project.
But of course this does not work, or at least does not produce anything which means something or is useful.
A simple example might be 100 one-day tasks all happening on day 1 of the project. The total duration is just 1 day and the duration of one task divided by one day is 1 (or 100%) and the sum of the percents is 100 x 100% = 10,000%.
What does it mean? Nothing, really.
Have you tried assigning a resource to the tasks?
You could call it "One Day", and give it a cost of $1/Day.
Then you would have cumulative Work or cumulative Cost as a proxy of cumulative days.
