Is it necessary to have actual dates?
I am doing a programme but will not know the start date for some time. Is there a way to have, instead of actual dates, Week 1, Week 2, etc.? It would make the Client happy if he didn't feel committed to any dates. Thanks.

RE: Is it necessary to have actual dates?
Hi Gregory
Thank you for your question. It is possible to replace dates with week numbers in the timescale.
From the Format menu choose Timescale. Make sure you are on the tab called "Middle Tier" on the dialogue box that appears.
Click the drop down beside Label and choose a more suitable alternative to the default date values.
I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:Keep constraining dates to a minimumAs far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields. |
