RE: Tasks
Hi Pedro
You can have multiple bars displayed for a task depending on what you want to display (example duration bar with progress complete).
I'm not sure what your 5 & 8 weeks mean, can you let me know what task data you wish to display, we can then hopefully help you.
Regards
Jacob

RE: Tasks
Your best best would probably be to designate several bars two 'similar tasks' and group them all under a single summary- if it is multiple formats you are after.
Or perhaps it is a kind of conditional format you require that changes colour dependant on the amount of weeks the duration spans across?

RE: Tasks
Hi Pedro
thanks for your question - you might also want to try adding a deadline to your task. So your task shows the planned end date and the deadline indicates the latest you wish this task to complete. To add a deadline double click on the task and go to the Advanced tab. Set a date in the deadline beyond which you do not want that task to cross. If the task end date does pass the deadline you will be alerted with a warning in the indicators column.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Andrew
