Problem with Total Float during Progress Updating

Hi Thomas,



You can try this...



Double click the highest level task summary. The SUMMARY TASK INFORMATION menu will appear. Go to ADVANCE and fill up the DEADLINE box with your deadline date. The deadline date is supposed to be your preferred baseline finish.



Then, CALCULATE. (Even if the calculation option was previously set to automatic, it will not calculate automatically on this input, I don’t know why...?)



Go to TOOLS, OPTION, CALCULATION and hit CALCULATE NOW.



This should show a slack on your Total Slack column of your highest task summary. Probably a negative slack if you have slippage.



Hope this helps....

Hello Thomas,



Put the deadline date on the highest level summary instead. This will show your slack.
