Re: Can't reduce row height - tried everything!
Naomi, I just removing the Gantt bar text on a couple of lines won't produce the same result as removing it from all lines. Do this: Select the whole file (click in the upper left corner above the ID field and to the left of the Task Name field). Go to, Gantt Chart format > Bar Styles group > Format > Bar > Bar Text. All entries should show as blank, but they really aren't. Click on entry for text on the right (if that's where your bar text is) and hit "Delete". (Don't worry, you will be able to get it all back after the test) Hit "OK" Save and Save All. Close Re-open the master. Are the task rows narrower or can you now change them to your liking? To restore from this test, again select the whole file and repeat step 2. This time hit the Reset button. All your original bar text should re-appear. As far as being able to manually adjust row height, it should work the same as Excel. Go to the extreme right (ID field) and place your cursor on a row separator. You should get a cursor bar with an up and down arrow. If necessary, would you be willing to send me your master and subproject files so I can do some first hand testing? JohnRe: Can't reduce row height - tried everything!
Naomi, Yes, now the screen shot conveys the issue. Try removing the text from the task bars altogether (i.e. just the bar). Does that help? Also, what happens when you grab the row height on the far left and move it up and down? Can you adjust the row heights? JohnRe: Can't reduce row height - tried everything!
Naomi, Not exactly the screen shot I was expecting (i.e. it doesn't show the actual Gantt Chart view), but let's check a few things. Are you using the default Calibri font or another font? Some fonts cause issues with row heights. In your initial post you said the row height was set to 1. Do you really mean the bar height (Gantt Chart Format > Format group > Layout > Bar Height)? Go to, Gantt Chart Format > Bar styles group > Format > Bar Styles. In the Bar Styles sub-window is the Row column set to 1 for all entries? JohnForum site often slow to load and responses don't "take"
Not always, but often enough to be aggravating, the Tech Community forum doesn't always load or takes an inordinate length of time to open a page. That issue occurred a couple of times today. In addition, I responded to a user post with a rather detailed answer this morning. My response seemed to "take" as there was no error message saying it did not post, yet when I checked back a couple hours later to see if the user responded, my detailed response was nowhere to be seen. I re-typed my detail response again and it appeared to "take" but again when I checked back a couple hours later, my second attempt at responding was nowhere to be seen. What's going on with the site? JohnRe: Project Remaining Duration as of Status Date
BrettPhifer_SCI, Yes, the finish date should be pushed out based on the parameters you stated. I notice you are not using the Standard calendar, so what is your Project calendar and working hours? Do you have any resources assigned to the task(s)? Are there any predecessors or successors for the task(s)? A screen shot would be helpful. If necessary, would you be willing to send me your file? JohnRe: Baseline fallback formula fails in project center
Knowledgeseeker, Let's see your formula in French, maybe I can pick up something. What exactly do you mean about keeping only Baseline Start? When you say nothing is displayed are you talking about In Project Center or Project desktop? I'd like to see a screen shot of a typical task line with Baseline Start and Baseline1 Start and the Date field you customized with the formula. JohnRe: Baseline fallback formula fails in project center
Knowledgeseeker, You shall seek and you shall find. Your formula is a little bit backward and the fields have an extra space. Try this: IIf([Baseline1 Start]=projdatevalue("NA"),[Baseline Start],[Baseline1 Start]) This works in Project Pro desktop. I can't speak to Project Center since I don't use PWA. JohnRe: Alert - external linkn
Inquisitore, I thought Ignacio had a great suggestion, sorry it didn't work. I have the same configuration you have, but for reference, what is your version of Project? The latest is: version 2507 (Build 19029.20184). If that is not your version I suggest you update. I take it you can open the file, you just get the unfriendly message. Is that correct? If so, open the file and go to, developer > Code group > Visual Basic. In the VBE window open the Project Explorer and double click on "ThisProject (name)". Does anything appear in the code window? If so, select and delete it. If necessary, would you be able to send me your file? I can give you m JohnRe: Opening project plan error
JeanineB007, Let's start with some info. Your post appears in the tech community for Microsoft Project. Is that the application you are using? If so, what version is it? What exactly are you trying to do with your macro? Did it work okay before? A snippet of your macro code showing where it attempts to open the Project file would help. John
