Start date

Hi Simona

Can you tell us a little more about what you are looking to achieve?

Although you have stored a value in Start1 Project won't show you both start and start1 values simultaneously.

The PERT analysis *might* help visualise three different versions of your project though.

On the View menu, go to Toolbars> PERT Analysis.

You could click PERT Entry Sheet on the PERT toolbar and put in three durations for optimistic, expected, and pessimistic.

If you click the calculate button (4th from right) project will then populate three views of your Project. You can access these from the first three buttons on the PERT toolbar.

Alternatively you could get Project to draw bars to represent different start dates and finishes (perhaps drawing 3 lines per task) by customising the Bar Styles (Format > Bar Styles) and creating bar types for each of the different start / finish dates you are working with.

Let us know more about what you are looking to acheive and we will try and help you further.

Kind regards,

Andrew



On the PERT toolbar, starting at the far left, are three buttons that cusomise the table to show optimistic, expected, and pessimistic task information. You will see that the optimistic table has Opt Start (which is in fact Start1), The Expected view stores Exp Start in Start3 and the pessimistic value in Start3




To view the optimistic, expected, and pessimistic durations, on the PERT Analysis toolbar, click Optimistic Gantt , Expected Gantt , or Pessimistic Gantt .
To view the end dates of the three resulting schedules, on the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the View tab, and then select the Show project summary task box.
