Default duration unit

Hello, Powerproject fanatics

Maybe the answer to my question is so obvious, however I was not able to find it

I want to enter the task duration in days; therfore I key in "5" for a task whose duration in "5 working days"

When I enter the duration of tasks in the spreadsheet, Powerproject always converts these 5 "days" into 5 "weeks", and displayes the value "25d" in the duration column.

Having looked everywhere in the dlalog boxes and the Online help, I cannot find my way.

Who will help me?

Thank you,

Alexandre

Hi Alexandre,

On the View ribbon, you can change the default snapping unit in the drop down list:

I just tested it and it is this field that controls what happens when you just tap "5" into the duration field on the spreadsheet.

Thanks,

Ben @ Powerproject
