Customizing fiscal year Quarter start-end times

[Mary in Toronto]

Is there a way to tell Visio that your fiscal year starts Nov 1, ends Oct 31
- rather than the default calendar year?

I've searched everywhere & have seen a number of people asking this same
question,. But there isn't an answer. Does someone know where to find an
answer to this? I'm using Visio 2007. Thanks.

Mary,
The timeline tool in Visio is a 'minimal' type of tool primarily intended
for data visualization. You're asking for something that is typically in a
project tool. Short answer, no there is no way to tell Visio about fiscal
year. With
that said, Visio doesn't care when you start your timeline.

It probably can't be done with the standard calender tool

The Visio 2007 Help files say 'Select the start day for the fiscal year.
(This option is available only when Time Scale is set to Quarters.)' My Time
Scale is set to quarters. But the FY starts on January, want it to be
November 1st. In the 'Gantt Chart Options' dialogue, Time Units is set to
Quarters, Timescale Range is 11/1/009 through 10/31/11. So ... it alludes to
being a capability that exists.

Thanks for your continued support.
