Consistent Display of Duration

[TheFlyingPM]

Hello MS-Project community! Happy Thursday to ya.

I'm working on a project with three different teams building project files
and one poor soul then combining them together. One joker decided to enter
his durations in weeks, whilst everyone else used days. Er, that joker would
be me.

So, my question is this: Does anyone know how to take a project file and
have it disply all the duration values the same way? To be clear, I'm not
talking about how to set the default unit for Durations
(Tools->Options->Duration is entered in, instead I'm talking about how to
take already existing tasks and have it display their duration in days even
though they were entered in weeks.

Thanks!

Hi FlyingPM,

Try Tools > Macro > Macros and run the Format_Duration macro to set your
durations to the desired measurement.

Happy Thursday to you as well.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
