Bar-Styles formatting

[Ed]

Hello, I'm working on a project in which I have only 2 indentation levels. Ex:

1. WALLS
2. PAINT
.. 2.1 Selecting
.. 2.2 Ordering
.. 2.3 Painting
3. FLOORS

Some Tasks do have more specific Tasks behind them and other are just plain
like 1 and 3. I would like to have as format, in this example, for 1. WALLS,
2. PAINT and 3. FLOORS in text:

LEFT:Start, TOP: Name, RIGHT: Finish.

The problem is that: WALLS and FLOORS are just Normal/Critical Tasks and
PAINT is a Summary Task, If I format for Summary Tasks then just PAINT would
have it, if I format for Normal/Critical, then all will have it including
2.1, 2.2 and 2.3.

What I've done so far, is I added a column "Flag 1" in which I specify
(Yes/No) and that means it has that format or not, and it works fine, this
may sound a bit picky, but the problem is that it gives a double height to
ALL the rows, instead of just the ones containg the desired format above, is
there a way to fix that? does it have to be all or none?

thanks in advance

Hi,
Unfortunately, yes.
I would put Name Left and use a formula t-in a text field to concatenate
start and finish and show that field right.

Oohh, I didn't knew it was possible to do that, how do I manage that?

Hi,

Tools, Customize, Fields
Select a custom text field
Click Formula
Concatenation is the & sign.
