Start/Finish columns - leaving blank whilst having data in subse

Hi

I have different bar styles assigned to different start/finish columns.

Therefore I want to enter dates in different columns relevant to each task, and many columns will not have data in the first start/finish columns (un-numbered).

However, I can't seem to delete dates from the first start/finish columns or insert NA. It always reverts to having the date of the start of the project.

Any help welcomed

Thanks

RE: Start/Finish columns - leaving blank whilst having data in s

Amy,

These would be the default Start and Finish dates. It makes sense that you are not able to delete the data within these cells.

I don't fully understand what you are trying to achieve by manually altering these dates, but you could always format the font to white so the dates could not be seen within the cells....or....hide those two columns all together.

Either way would work to meet your needs described above. But with that said, I'm really not sure you are using Microsoft Project the way it could best be used.

Hope this helps!
