Hi
Why does my duration suddenly have decimals? (eg 24.66 days)

RE: MS Project
Hi Joyce
Thank you for your question. There are a number of possible causes:
Most frequent is when tasks have been entered based on 8 hour working days (Tools > Options > Calendar) and the calendar has been modified to reflect a different set of hours (Tools > Change working times). The mismatch leaves decimal fractions of days appearing on the chart.
It can also happen if tasks are progressed using hourly intervals of work (rather than duration).
Or when a constraint is set to a time part way through a day
Would any of these be possible causes in your plan? Let me know what you find.
Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:Avoid Accidental ConstraintsThe initial default table is the Entry table. Enter a task name and duration, but do not enter start or finish dates. Form the plan using links, predecessors. Typing dates introduces constraints. To remove these constraints, double click on a task, and on the Advanced page of Task Information set the constraint back to As Soon As Possible (all other options are there too.) |
