Project Intro Intermediate course
Is it possible to enter a second column in Project alongside duration in Gantt chart where it displays a task's duration in different units. I.e. you might enter the duration in days but also want it displayed in weeks
Martin
Afraid not.

Any suggestions, questions or comments? Please post in the Improve the forum thread.
As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.
Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
