Gantt activity duration

Hi, I have a simple problem but cant resolve it.   How can i set up my setting so when a activity lasts 2 days (lets say it starts monday), the gantt view shows it ends at the end of tuesday?   ...

Thanks John for the response. Sorry for the poor information, I understand that there are many configurations in project and I have only recently started using it. Attached you will find a screenshot of what i mean. The activity duration is 1.56 days and in the gantt view it marks three days.

 

I think this happened because i started to change the calendar settings and the working hours. 

My settings where:Gantt view

  • Calendar: Standard 
  • Start hour: 0:30
  • End hour: 23:30
  • Hours per day: 24

I started a new Project sheet and started from 0, every configuration as default and i didn't have a problem. 

 

Thanks for your time and help, have a wonderful week!

 

Regards,

Renzo

Your calendar setting from 00:30 to 23:30 shows you have 23 hrs in a day not 24 hrs. So, when you enter 2 days (48 hrs), this shows up on Gantt over 2+ days, 23 hrs on 1st day, 23 hrs on 2nd day & 2hrs on 3rd day.

 

Either change your hours per day to 23 hrs or change your start time from 00:00 to 00:00.
