Schedule Report
Is a view/report similar to this possible in MS Project? our plant is used to seeing an Excel spreadsheet like this, which is very efficient. Basically, it's a Gantt chart where each cell is a task...
- RobertOrnelas,
Yeah Project has a lot of subtle options that can make all the difference.
1. Double click on the summary line to bring up the task information window. Check the "Hide Bar" option. That will hide the summary line bar but allow rolled up subtask bars to appear, as long as the Rollup field is marked ad "yes" for the summary and all subtasks.
2. There is no "Subtask Name" field, the field is simply "Name", as shown in my screenshot.
Does that help?

That's where I'm stuck. so many options...
mine is showing up as a summary type bar as you have shown above, while yours is formatted as a Rolled up task. Mine is continuous, while yours stops and starts for each subtask. Also, I don't see a text option for "Subtask Name", which is what I really want. Is It called something else? I'm still testing, but I think Project is treating it as one summary bar, rather than a bunch of subtask bars.

- RobertOrnelas,
You're welcome and thanks for the feedback.
John John-project Brilliant!! that did it! So that's what I was missing was that the summary bar was "hiding" the subtask labels. A little formatting will make this look exactly the way I want.
