Duration automatically changing from 1d to 6000w

Hi, trying to do a college assignment and mid way through programme, when I enter 1d for a duration it jumps to 6000w. Has anybody had a similar issue or know what setting will rectify this.
Thanks

Hi, 

Check if you have resources in the particular activites and been closed on single day span (Act Start-Finish) it accumulates your planned resource distributio and distort the complete timeline. I just am putting my guess as it occers here in my Schedule several times when we close DELETED Provisional sums acitviities with cost loaded into it.

 

Regards,

Ameya

Hi Stephen - welcome to planning planet

Never heard of that one before - have you created a buffer task by accident - if so change it back to a normal task.

Next check your calendars both on the task and any resources.

Can you change it back to 1d by either:

Change the dates in the spreadsheet?

Drag the task back with the mouse?

You could have a glitch on the software - try deleting the task and putting it on a new row.

If nothing else then contact Asta Support - I presume you have an up to date licence.
