MS Project

Is there a way you can graphically visualize predecesors for one activity similar to the way you visualize predecesor cells using Formula Audit Toolbar functions in Ms Excel?

RE: MS Project

Hi David

Thanks for your question. Project 2007 has a feature called Drivers which allows you to select a task and then display the factors influencing its position in the Gantt chart. In earlier versions of Project the best way to see this would be through a combination of fields such as Predecessors and columns in tables such as Tracking.

I hope this helps - let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew


 

Excel tip:

The dual nature of toolbar buttons

Many toolbar buttons are dual purpose, though the two purposes are often linked in some way. For example, Align Left aligns a cell's contents to the left of the cell. However, hold down Shift and press the Align Left button: Excel aligns the cell contents to the right.
You may respond: So what? Well, you can reduce the number of buttons on your toolbar to make your screen less cluttered and allow more room for, perhaps, some of your own commands. After all, what's the point of an Align Right button when Shift+Align Left does the same thing?
