duration decimal

Dear Mike/All ,

 

     How to make duration in round figure? I have duration column in days. In which few duration  are showing  as 1d 30min and 2d 2h. I need to change these durations in round figure as 1d and 2d in the whole column. How to do that? Any tip?

 

Regards,

Chris

Mike,

Thanks for the response - I'm still having a problem with that, as I don't have an option to select 'percent' from the 'duration format' drop down. It only gives me the following options:

Compact (4:2)
Decimal (4.00d, 4.40w)
Decimal (4d, 4.4w)
Mixed time units (4w 2d)

Therefore I'm still confused!

Regards,

Marc.

Hi Marc

Follow the instructions I gave to Chris - Right Click on the column head > chose Format Cells > Duration > you now have a variety of options.

Select "Days" on the drop down > 0 for decimal places and Percent for the format.

Good Afternoon,

I was looking for a solution to a similar 'wish'.

I want to show progress in days ONLY but I thought I'd exhausted all options to no avail. I recently saw a paper copy of a Powerproject programme, which had exactly what I wanted - durations shown in days only!
I couldn't find who had produced this, but am sure that someone out there knows the (probably quite obvious) setting I need to change.

Any clues appreciated!

Marc.

I prefer 0 decimal point + percent format.

Best regards
