Computing tasks Finish date in Project
Hello, I've unexpectedly run into the following situation: for a project, I've set the work schedule for 4hours / day and entered a task with the duration of 40hours, which I've computed as 10 wo...
- Alina_Andreica,
You need to have a custom 4h workday calendar. If it only applies to those two tasks, then use the Task Calendar field to set the 4h workday calendar for those tasks and leave the Standard calendar as your Project calendar.
Also, if the 4h workday is limited to certain tasks, do NOT change the definition of a "day" to 4 hours, leave it at the default 8h or whatever a standard day is for the rest of the tasks. Project only allows one definition of a "day" so if you have a mixed bag, I suggest you either stick with entering duration values in hours (that works for everything), or only used days in the duration field for non-4h day tasks. The 4h workday task duration will still need to entered in hours.
Understand that Project calculates all time values to the nearest minute regardless of the setting you use for duration.

Thank you very much!
The project calendar was set as well to 4h but the calendar for the working resources remained Standard, therefore from the intersection with the 4h one, remained only 15-17, therefore 2h / day
Actually, I've logically deduced that from some standard specification, maybe only 2 working hours remained - and I've even thought to change the interval 15-19h to a one included in the standard working time - but didn't check the resources calendar until you recommended
It's ok now, thank you very much!
With all best wishes,
Alina
Alina,
What you are doing makes no sense to me but if it works for you, that's good.
