Week numbers

Dear Forum

I wonder if someone can help me.  I like the week numbers to count down during the preconstruction period then count back up during the construction phase.  I like the week numbers to be shown as -3,-2,-1,1,2,3,4,5,6,etc.  However, when I adjust the project start date to the first date of the construction phase the pre-cosntruction phase 'takes ownership' of the intended start date and 'thinks' the pre-construction commences at that time.  With Asta you can set zero date and I was wonderin if there such a function with Microsoft Project.

 

Any help will be welcome.

Thank you for your reply.

I have tried that option and it's close of what I like MS to do. What I like is for MS project to count down the pre-construction phase e.g week -3, week -2, week -1 during the pre construction phase. Then count up week 1, week 2, week 3 etc as normal from the start of the actual construction work.

Thank you
