If we can do Time Scale Change - Positive and Negative

Hello Everyone,

Just a doubt about if we can show the time scale to positive and negative.

Like the award )

Project award date would be 0 anything happening after the project award date would be positive dates like (Week) 1 ,2 3.

 

How can we show in the schedule the activities which happens before Project award date as negative like (week) -1 , -2 , -3 etc

Thanks

Hi Jithin

In Asta PowerProject I just click on the date that I want to be Week 0 and the + / - numbers just fall into place.

Best regards

Thanks Gary. It Worked out well. I was trying to do many things in timescale and it didnt work. At last as you said i went to the time scale checked marked the Show Original Dates and then in Original start i used the custom date to select the day when the project is awarded.

And in Original Date Interval i selected weeks.

Thanks a lot for helping me out.
