Calendars
- Hi.
The first thing is to make a backup copy of the file, in case you don't like the results, but not because errors are generated.
Keep in mind that the calendar will only be applied to unfinished tasks, and only from the date on which you define the application of the new calendar hours.
Regards.

I have a followup question to that topic. I need it the other way round. I currently have a 7 day calender which was standard at Microsoft Project Professionell 2021 and I only want to show a 5 day week in the Gantt - Diagram. I cant find any solution online. There is advie at https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/office/%C3%A4ndern-der-zeitskala-in-einer-project-ansicht-in-project-desktop-d46038c4-e8db-4013-a024-db0251dd8a4f#articleFooterSupportBridge=communityBridge but that isnt what my MS Project version is showing me. Do you know how I can cut out the weekend from the Gannt - Diagramm?
I'm new to the community so I don't know how to post pictures here, but I hope you understand what my issue is 🙂
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello Nils.
I think that in order to include photos on the blog, you have to register.
If what you are referring to is that when you have a time scale of days in the Gantt chart, the columns corresponding to Saturday and Sunday are not shown, even though they are non-working days in your calendar, unfortunately it is not possible to hide them. You can select not to display a background color for those days (Menu> View> Zoom> TimeScale> TimeScale> Non-Working time > Tab> Draw...), but the Saturday and Sunday columns will still appear.
Regarding the link to the document you indicate from Microsoft support, the view Calendar you refer to is different from the view Gantt chart, and there it can only show the days Monday to Friday.
I hope I've helped.

Hello Ignacio,
thank you very much for your quick response!
You did get my problem right and helped me to find a way to maybe get a solution 🙂
Now I know, that sadly I can't hide the non-working days so I need to contact MS Project in order to fix my problem. I think they need to reintroduce the function that is shown in the link above so I can switch between the 7-day week to a 5-day week in the Gantt-diagram. Maybe they will do it, but let's see. I will give you an update if something happens.
Thanks for your kind help,
Nils
