The calculation in P3 works in whole units - your only option for parts of a day is hours, but you can run a secondary schedule, for example a steel erection schedule, and import or key in a summary level into your main schedule. Even if your client demands it as backup it will only detail one part of your work.

No you cant! I agree to Raviraj, without decimals should be ok for longer projects. In P3e it would be poosible but there too I didnt use it - for longer projects.
Thanks for your immediate response, but is there a possibility that i could set up my duration with a decimal point? like 2.3 days, 2.4 days, etc, etc. because when i enter the duration with decimal point the primavera will round it off to a whole number, and when you organized it to see the schedule duration it is less of what i have planned.is there a possibility for p3 to accept whatever duration i encoded.

Hi Rick,
If the project is long, why u want to put duration in hours. Do u want to be so transparent with ur client that u will activity worth in hours only.
Even, it is neither required by Client/Consultant nor by project team.
Hours are used in mostly maintenance projects, where shutdown means loosing money.
Its of no point in putting duartion in hours for a long project
Cheers,
Raviraj
