Re: Duration calculation

Hello Trevor,

Well obviously, I was not thinking straight or something. Either too
much coffee or not enough. When I create a task with a start date of
July 21, 2007 at 8:00 am and enter a 35 day duration, I show August 24,
2007 at 5:00 pm as the finish date. A duration of 36 days gives me
August 25, 2007. Is it possible you have one nonworking day in between
those dates?

Sorry for any ealier confusion.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Hello Trevor,

You have obviously modified the project calendar to allow every day
(Sunday through Saturday) as working time. What hours (8:00 am to
5:00 pm ?) do you have set? If you haven't modified the 8:00 am to
5:00 pm and haven't modified the definition of the number of hours in
a day from default (8 hours) then from July 21, 2007 8:00 am to August
25, 2007 5:00 pm *is* 35 eight hour time slots, thus 35 "days" not 36.

See FAQ #5 at http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm for some additional
information.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

I have a schedule that spans from 7/21 to 8/25. Project is telling me
the
duration is 35 days, but when I count the days on the calandar, its
36 days.
I need the proper count to show.Thanks.
