How to Show Tasks Ahead without Moving Dates...
Hi All,
Is there a way to show tasks that are ahead of schedule via the progress bar without moving or changing any of the bars or dates?
In simple terms I want to show tasks that are ahead through the progress bar going to the right, but I want to keep the original task date fixed.
Imagine printing the schedule out on paper and getting a higlighted and drawing a progress line, whereby a late task you would draw to the left (not started/in progress), a task ahead you would draw the line to the right, and anything complete on time the progress line just runs vertical.

Good question. Take a look at the following YouTube video on how to create a custom filter to locate tasks whose progress is ahead of schedule:
Hope this helps.
Hi Calum in Microsoft Project if you baseline a schedule, you can go to a view called a 'Tracking Gantt' which show two bars per task - baseline timeline, and actual timeline. If you are ahead of schedule (like you say above) the bar will start to the left of the baseline bar, if you are behind it will be somewhere to the right of the starting date on the baseline. You'll find this in the 'Views' 'More Views' dropdown on the far left side of your screen (it defaults to 'Gantt').
