Widening report columns in standard reports

[aspgk]

Hello:

1. I'm navigating throught Project 2003
2. One of the report (who does what when) shows #### in some of the rows
indicating the report column is not large enough to hold the data.. in this
case its due to the never-ending .333333333 for the hours.
3. How can i force the number of decimal places on a report?
4. How can i widen a standard report column in the instance?

Please advise & thanks

Hi aspgk,

You can widen the columns in the report output of the Who Does What When
report by changing the date format for the columns. Edit the report
(click the Edit button instead of select in the Assignment Reports
dialog box). In the Crosstab Report dialog box which appears, click the
Details tab and at the bottom change the date format to a longer format
("01/28/02, 01/29/02..." or Mon 01/28/02, Tue 01/29/02" for example.)

To your question of the number of decimal places on the report, I
believe it only shows two digits to the right of the decimal. If I
manually enter more digits than 2, Project rounds to only two and only
two appears on the report.

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