Showing Weekends and Weekdays in charts

Hi Terry,



Why not try Insert / Object / Primevera Draw.



You can make a rectangle and select the few shades which are available.

PITA = Pain In The A** (don’t want to be vulgar!)



I don’t know if you can change the color of the shaded curtain, have never tried. If I figure anything out I will let you know.

Terry,

Changes to holidays and exceptions in a base calendar affect all resource calendars derived from it. If your resource calendar uses its base calendars standard work week, changses to that standard work week also affect the resource calendar. Try This:

Data-Resources. This opens Resource dialogue box

Click calendars to open project calendar box; Choose resource to edit resource calendar; Select the resource you want to define a calendar. right click the base calendar column to choose a different base calendar column; Click standard to open the standard daily info box for daily projects etc. Then specify whether to base the resource calendar’s work week on it’s base calendars standard work week; Modify resources holiday or other expected nonwork periods not already part of the base calendar. Your problem is solved.

Hi Terry / Liz,



What is PITA?

I have used the INSERT OBJECT/SHADED CURTAIN on my schedules to indicate the cold-weather periods. I suppose you could use this to show the weekend periods as well, but if your schedule is over a long period of time this would be a bit of a PITA to set up.

Thanks Deb. i forgot to mention that..

hello terry in continuation of what Ifeanyi said in the Bar section tick the Neck Column

Hi Terry,



I don’t know about formating bar charts so that weekend periods are shown in shaded form; but i know you can format your bar chart to "neck" holidays and weekends. Go to Format=>Bars and check box for holidays and weekends.#

Cheers.
