Task should not be started on weekend but can run continuously during weekend
I have several tasks that takes 18 to 25 days in row. Those tasks should be started from Monday to Friday. I could not made a schedule for those tasks
Or......how about this "end around run"? As soon as the "milestone" takes on a non-zero value, the Monday through Thursday only custom calendar as the Task Calendar does the trick.
John 🙂
Thank you everybody. I added tasks that take 0.5 or 1.5 days (As setup Task with standard calendar) before every task (with 24 hours calendar). It is solved now but it is not a good solution.
Shahram179,
What exactly is "not a good solution"? Is it because the Run task starts at noon on Monday instead of at 8:00 AM Monday?
Try the approach I show in my screen shot above. The continuous task will start a minute "late" (i.e. 8:01 AM instead of 8:00 AM) on any day Monday through Friday but I think that's a good compromise, unless you want to go with a VBA approach as I mentioned earlier.

- Great. Your solution works for my project.
Shahram,
You're welcome and thanks for the feedback. You might want to check out my latest reply to Ignacio for an improved approach.
