These elapsed durations you could see in screenshot are OK, my entire plan contains days and elapsed days. The problem is coming when I want to export Powerproject data to external datasource. For example I've got 2 tasks: Task 1 , 2d duration Task 2, 2ed duration Model files has formula for duration and it "force" to write durations in days: formula="Duration / '1d'" But for Task 2 it will return incorrect value becasue of elapsed units... With formula: formula="Duration / '1ed'" it will return correct values for durations expressed in elapsed days (Task 2), but not for working days (Task 1). Still with me? :) I can't find any way to export correct durations via BI Controller regardless of duration units used for tasks.

Hi Dariusz,

For example I've got 2 tasks:

Task 2, 2ed duration
Model files has formula for duration and it "force" to write durations in days:
formula="Duration / '1d'"
But for Task 2 it will return incorrect value becasue of elapsed units...
With formula:

it will return correct values for durations expressed in elapsed days (Task 2), but not for working days (Task 1).
Still with me? :)
