Is it necessary to have actual dates?

I am doing a programme but will not know the start date for some time. Is there a way to have, instead of actual dates, Week 1, Week 2, etc.? It would make the Client happy if he didn't feel committed to any dates. Thanks.

RE: Is it necessary to have actual dates?

Hi Gregory

Thank you for your question. It is possible to replace dates with week numbers in the timescale.

From the Format menu choose Timescale. Make sure you are on the tab called "Middle Tier" on the dialogue box that appears.

Click the drop down beside Label and choose a more suitable alternative to the default date values.

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

Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:

Use Autofill in MS Project

a. Complete 1st entry
b. Select cell with entry to be copied
c. Click & drag autofill handle over the lines to also contain the same information. (the autofill handle is the little black square in the bottom right hand corner of the heavy lack outline on the selected cell)
