Calendar Days

[Shannon]

Can someone tell me how I can have project show me the calendar days that a
project will last? I use the standard calendar as the calendar for my
project. What I need to see if a project start is July 1st and based on the
task durations and relationships the proejct is ending July 31st....I want to
show 31 days for the calendar days in a column...not just the working days.

Shannon,
Unfortunately there is no option to directly show calendar days but you
can use a spare text field customized with a formula to show calendar
days. Use the following formula,
Text1=DateDiff("d",[Start],[Finish])+1 & " days"

You probably also want to use the formula for calculating task and group
summary rows.

Hope this helps.
