Hi Daniel,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

It depends on where you start counting. Project does not have a week 0 -
try putting a task starting Jan 1st, it will be in week 01, and so 11th Aug
will be in week 32. You cannot change this

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on

There is a workaround. Use a custom formula in an unused text field.
I use the following formula:

"w" & Format(DateAdd("d",7-Weekday([Finish]),[Finish]),"ww" & "'yy")
By editing the formula you can add the .day if you like.

Then format your bars to show the new value. Unfortunately the timescale is
not configurable.
