How to print time range on Gantt chart

[redmadcap]

I am running MSP 2003 SP3. I want to print the time range of each tas
on the Gantt chart. It is a 5 day project with 1000 tasks, so it woul
be helpful to include both the start time and end time above the bar.
don't want the date as this would be too crowded.

I have seen this before on a print out, but I can't see to figure ou
how to do it.

Thanks

You can format the timescale to show hours. Is that what you want?

No, I want to keep the Gantt chart in days. But I want to add a labe
to each task bar that includes the start and end time of each task
similar to adding the resource name label on the chart.

I have seen this before, but cant figure out how to get it there

Hello redmadcap,

I'm not sure I follow exactly what you are trying to do -- I think
you want to show the start time and finish time of the task above
each bar on the Gantt chart .

As you may have discovered, you can add field values to the bars
through Format > Bar Styles, selecting the bar (Task, Critical,
etc.) and then specifying the field you wish to show and the
position on the "text" tab. You can add the [start] field or the
[finish] field, but it will show date and time, so the challenge is
showing just the time part of the start and finish field.

So, to that end, you'll need a custom field with a formula. Add a
text field to the table and then add a formula through Tools >
Customize > Fields. The following formula pulls the date portion
only from the start and finish fields:

Format([Start],"hh:mm") & " to " & Format([Finish],"hh:mm")

Then show the text field above the task bar through Format > Bar
Styles.

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