Julian Date Format (1,2,3...364, 365) for MS Project 2003

[ajearl2]

I would like to either format all of the dates in a project to the number of
cumulative days from project inception. Or, to a julian date format, which
ever is easier. Julian Dates are the numbered day of the year 1 to 365 then
a year identifier. An absolute reference like this will make it easier to
analyze network diagram dates.

Hi,

You can have those options in the headings of the timescale (Format,
Timescale) but not as a date representation: the options are in Tools,
Options, View, Date Format. The nearest you can get to it is through the
week number.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Jan, I figured out how I could define some of the Duration1, 2, 3...
dates with the Formula Duration1(ES)=ProjDateDiff([Project Start],[Early
Start]) to get an early start date in absolute days rather than the date
format. I did the same for Early Finish, Late Start, and Late Finish. This
allows me to customize Project to represent the PERT charts in my school
textbook. I used the calendar timescale as day of the year, as you
suggested too.
