Task summary and sub task duratiom
If I input the sub-task duration in hours;min & also in obtions the in duration has been set to hours. But client wants summary tasks to be in days. So if I change the obtions back to days after completion. Will it affect any of by data on the sub task. And shows sub-tasks in the hrs and summary total in days?

Sorry, I didn't read your post correctly. Yes, if the duration units setting in Project options is set for hours before you enter any task data, all the durations will be in hours. You can then reset the units in Project options to days and it will only impact summary lines. However, if you then add new tasks, those tasks will show duration in days. I guess you could switch back and forth to get what you want, but here is another option you might want to consider. Create a separate custom field to show summary lines in days as shown below:

- Can I also ask. Im working on a Pplan with 2 x Calenders. My planning ect a standard.( Also the setting for Project) and then a 24 hr for the week shutdown. This also the reason for my prev. Q? The summary tasks for work 24hrs, does not add to ie. 82hr should be 3.41 d its shows 10.72 d .
- Why is projects using the std 8 hour days and not the 24 calender as specified spesifically for those tasks?. Any recommendations ?. There are no resources only tasks.
- Thank you veey much, going to try this
