Microsoft Project 2010

To whom it may concern,

I wish to create a line within project that extends for 15 years called "Residential Take up". At a set point each year (say 31st December) I want a point/milestone on the line to say the number of units for that year. Is there a way to create a line within the gantt chart with a milestone for every year the line extends?

Currently the only way I have managed to do anything like this is to create recurring occurances dated 31st december for the 15 period however I am unable to get text above it to label each point with the relevant figure.

The other alternative is a different year on each line and a milestone for each but this is very messy and creates too many additional lines.

I look forward to your help

Thanks

Tom

RE: Microsoft Project 2010

Hi Tom,

Thank you for your question.

You could try adding a text box above each occurrence, entering the figure for that year and then linking the text box to that occurrence.

However I will pass this on to my other colleagues and see what they may suggest.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Simon

MS Project tip:

Use Autofill in MS Project

a. Complete 1st entry
b. Select cell with entry to be copied
c. Click & drag autofill handle over the lines to also contain the same information. (the autofill handle is the little black square in the bottom right hand corner of the heavy lack outline on the selected cell)
