How do I make my Gantt time scale say "FY2005"?

Our fiscal year begins in Oct. But we refer to calendar year as often as we
refer to fiscal year. So it's important that that we say "Q1 FY05" when we
mean Oct 2004. Can anyone offer a solution to have my MS Project Gantt chart
label read "FY2005" or "Q1FY05"? Thanks.

Hi,

You can tell Project to start a Gantt-year at the fiscal year start:
- Go to "Tools-Options- , Tab Calendar, Change the month of the Fiscal-year
to october.
- Check the (now appearing) option under the month ("use this month for
starting" or something like that) and say ok.
- doubleclick on the gantt-label to change the format, select the
week-options and the format and check the option "use fiscalyear". Now your
Week 1 will start on october.

There is no formatting-option to label "Q1FY05" but you get "Q1 '05".

regards
Sascha
