Month Calculations

I agree with the below posters, Darren & Trevor.

Don’t complicate the schedule in trying to be smart as it usually gets smart back at you!



Are we talking 5 days or 7 day calenders?

If we are talking 7 day, then use "eday" for working weekends if you do not want to upset the 5 day calender but eday represents 24 hour working time! This is useful if you are measuring on work effort rather than cost as you would get away with "eday" work effort because eday would add to the cost!



Sometimes you got to manipulate the calenders a bit to suit the programme you want...however, if you are not sure, heed the advice at the start!



So use "hours" as time unit for work & "days" for durations for an efficient programme.

Hi Mark,



I’d agree with Trevor. I never use Months, Weeks or Minutes as a Duration unit and very rarely use hours.



I do, however, use hours as the time unit for Work.



Regards,



Darren

What’s TMA?

You answered your own question. You are better off using Days as durations.
