Display of two texts on the same bar for different durations.

[Chandu]

Hi,
I am just trying to create a Schedule with Two text in the same bar for diferent time periods.

Basically for example:
Excavation: Total Duration is 6 months
First month - Mobilisation
Remaining 5 months - Work Started

In a task bar for the duration of 6months , for the first month it should Mobilisation in the text and Work in Progress for the remaining 5 months.

Thanks in Advance.

The only way to do this is to used a rolled up summary bar.
Create excavation, mobilization and Work Started tasks. Indent the mob and
work tasks so that the excavation task is a summary of them.
Go to format menu / bar styles and create a new style. Set "show for..." to
"rolled up summary" and set the bar text for that to be "Name"
Then the summary will show both of the bars from the subtasks and the name
of those sub-tasks.
