Creating Gantt Views within Master Projects

[jleifb]

I am not sure this can be done, but it seems like it would be probable, I
just don't know how to go about this.

I have 175 project plans that go into one master plan. Each plan has a set
of 19 milestones/tasks per site location at the top of the plan each with
their own timeline. I am looking to build a view of a gantt chart that will
show all 175 of those projects spanning time for each one of the 19
milestone/tasks. Meaning I would have per site location only 19 bars that
would span the time for each bar of the 175 projects.

Example:
Project 1
Milestone/task 1 starts Sept 1st ends Sept 15th
Milestone/task 2 starts Oct 1st ends Oct 15th

Project 2
Milestone/task 1 starts Sept 5th ends Sept 25th
Milestone/task 2 starts Oct 8st ends Oct 18th

So in this scenario at the master project level, I would show Milestone/task
1 bar starting Sept 1st and spanning thru to Sept 25th and Milestone/task2
bar would start on Oct 1st and span thru to Oct 18th.

Sorry for the long explanation, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh

I believe the best way to do this is to open a new project, then click Insert
-> Project, and be sure the box "link to project" is checked, then insert
each of the 175 individual projects into the Master project.

(I've only tried this with MS Project Professional, if you have Standard I
don't know if this functionality exists)

Label each of the 19 milestones
In the master plan group and filter using this label.
