Data access after Project Online (PWA) retirement
As the retirement of Project Online (PWA) approaches, some questions have come up regarding what will happen to the data and related content. I’d like to ask if anyone has information or guidance on the following points: What happens to the data currently stored in Project Online after the retirement date? Will this data still be available for viewing, export, or migration after that date? If so, for how long? Regarding the SharePoint sites linked to PWA, will they remain available? Will it still be possible to access or modify their content? Does Microsoft plan to publish official guidance on this transition? Any references or practical experiences on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
MS PROJECT 2019 UPDATE and Purchasing Options
HI We are currently using Microsoft Project Professional 2019 desktop version, but we are facing challenges with its reporting limitations. Specifically, the software can only display a maximum of 75 rows in its reports. As our weekly reports often exceed this limit, we find ourselves spending considerable time on manual entries. For our monthly reports, we can manage the filtering process to avoid this limitation, but the weekly reports require a hierarchical structure to display task statuses, and unfortunately, there is no workaround for this constraint. While researching this issue, I found discussions indicating that the 2025 version of Microsoft Project can display up to 150 rows, which would help us address our challenges. I have a couple of questions: 1. Does the new version of Microsoft Project 2025 indeed support the display of up to 150 rows? 2. What is the best approach for upgrading: subscription or standalone? 3. Could you provide pricing information and tell us where we can obtain it? Thank you! Best regards, Teshome HPU PMO Office
Microsoft Project / Planner question
Hello, new to this so I hope I've posted this question in the right place. I have been emailed a Microsoft Project .mpp file. At present I don't have the correct software to open and amend this file. I am exploring whether I need to but an online subscription or make a one off purchase. the online subscription option suggests that I need to subscribe to Microsoft Planner. My queries is, will this allow me to import/load the file I've been emailed to allow me to edit it? If it doesn't presumably my only option is to make the one off purchase? Many thanks in advance if there is anyone that can assist.
Project Accelerator de Microsoft
I am running some tests with the Project Accelerator tool. I assigned a Planner Plan 1 trial license based on the documentation and previous guidance. At the beginning of February 2026 everything was working correctly, and I was able to view tasks inside the Project Accelerator application. However, as of today (February 25, 2026), the task view no longer loads, and I receive a Microsoft authentication error. It seems as if the system is now blocking access to the plan view even though the Planner Plan 1 license is still active. My question is: Have the licensing requirements changed recently?
Project Changing % Complete when entered
Why does MS Project change the % Complete value entered? We have a task with a Start date of 11/12/25 and Finish date of 1/20/27. The duration is 223.9 days based on a 4 day/10 hrs per day calendar (it is a long lead time material procurement task). The status date is 1/5/26 and the task has an Actual Start of 11/12/25. When I enter 10 in the % complete column and hit enter, Project changes this to 0%. When I enter 15 in the % complete column and hit enter, Project changes this to 5%. When I enter 50 in the % complete column and hit enter, Project changes this to 44%. I believe % Complete is either calculated or entered, but it seems if you enter a value in this field, Project shouldn't change it. What causes Project to change your % Complete value entered, and how do you get Project to display the desired % Complete for a task like this?Is there a way to graphically highlight all of the tasks under a summary?
Looking to create what would essentially be a coloured background for all of the tasks in the gantt chart, under a summary. Been looking online and watching tutorials, but cant find what I am looking for. The image shows what I am trying to do (was done after the fact with a PDF reader, would prefer to do it straight in MS project).
