Re: MS Project Professional Master File Duration less than duration of highest Subproject
John-project Thank you so much for all the help. With the Master Project file summary line, I was hoping to show the Total number of days based on the dominant subproject (longest duration + exceptions) across all subprojects. Since I am not VBA savvy, I think I can manage it "manually" with your suggested custom text field. Once again, thanks for all your help in furthering my understand.

John-project Hi and thanks for your patience. My project that I was working on was fairly advanced with a lot of content, so it was a bit difficult to get that info. I however reproduced the issue in a simpler test project below: The discrepancy occurred when, for SubProject ABC, I put the start, end completion date on Sunday (non-working day) where I introduced this exception. The calendars for the Master and subprojects are all Standard (40hrs, M-F). I hope this is enough info to help diagnose a resolution.

John-project Hi and thanks for the reply. The calendars for the master and sub projects are all standard M-F 40hr work week however in one of the sub projects there are a number of exceptions where a task start and completion date was on a non working day. I believe this might be the issue. Any recommendations to resolve? Thanks, Ken1.5KViews0likes5CommentsMS Project Professional Master File Duration less than duration of highest Subproject
Hi, Hoping someone can help with this one. Created a Master Project file to track multiple projects and when I insert the first Subproject ("Finance Department Audit Process"), the Master Project Duration is less than the Subproject summary. Any suggestions on how I can reconcile this would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Hi Dale_HowardMVP, Thank you very much for the quick response. Very much appreciated. The corporate license I currently have is for MS Project Professional so that explains why the Planner connectivity is not enabled. I have requested the MS Project Online version so that we can utilize this powerful feature. A follow-up question. I have created a number of MS Planner plans, once I have the Online version, when I create a task and assign it to a resource, and assocaite the task to a bucket in Planner, does the task automatically generate in the bucket? Have a good safe day. Best regards, Ken Pitre2.9KViews0likes4Comments
