Summary duration format

[keithorchard]

Hi there,
The summary task duration is always shown in days, even when sub task
durations are in weeks. Is there a way to change the format of the
summary task to show weeks, months or years?

Many thanks,
Keith

Hi Keith,

To change summary task duration measurements go to Tools > Options,
Schedule tab. Change the "Duration is entered in:" drop-down to your
liking -- days, weeks, months. Sorry, years is not an option. This
will change the default duration measurement for new tasks you enter as
well.

To change the duration for all "entered" tasks, run the Format_Duration
macro from Tools > Macro > Macros.

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