End To Start Projects

Can you automatically with an end date get the dates going backwards?

RE: End To Start Projects

Hi Howard

Thanks for your question. You can set Project to schedule from the end date rather than the start date by going to Project > Project Information and choosing to schedule from the project end date. Making this switch however means that your tasks by default will start as late as possible rather than as soon as possible which is often less desirable than scheduling from the project start date.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:

Inserting Task Durations Quickly

When entering durations for your tasks simply use the single letters - m for min, h for hr, d for day, w for week, but mon for month. If default is set for days, you need only type the number, for example 3 for 3days, or 0.5 for half a day.
