Microsoft Project change all task from fix duration to fixed unit

[DAW]

I have a project with over 500 task, I want to change them all from fixed
duration to fixed unit or fixed work.

Hello DAW,

Likely the fastest way is to click on the column heading Task Name to select
all tasks. Choose Project > Task Information on the menu and on the Advanced
tab, select Fixed Unit or Fixed Work. Click OK to close the dialog and apply
the change.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Hi,

Two possibilities:

1. Select all tasks, click the Task Information icon on the toolbar; in
advanced set the new task type.
Note that summary tasks are always fixed duration.

2. Insert the column "Type". Set tehd esired type for the first non-summary
task. Now drag this value to teh bottom of the list, or select the column
frm there and Ctrl+D (copy down)

Insert the column "Type". Set the first non-summary task to "fixed duration".
Now drag this value (hover over the bottom right corner until + sign appears) to the bottom of the list and let go.

Jan De Messemaeker - awesome, thank you.

Set the default task type to "Fixed Duration"
In Project 2013 select File > Options > Schedule
Change "Default task type" to "Fixed Duration". OK

JulieS - this will make all future tasks "Fixed Duration". Thank you.
