To hide a single sub-task

Hi,
How do I hide a single sub-task, which is on the same "level" as several other tasks? Is there a "hide" button for the task row, as per Excel format?

Thanks!

RE: To hide a single sub-task

Hi Danielle

Thank you for your question. There isn't a per line hide feature but you can still achieve this result using filters.

Insert a Flag column (e.g. right click on the name column and insert Flag1)

Alongside the row you would like to hide set the Flag value to Yes.

At the top of the flag column click the little filter triangle and filter to show No values.

This hides the row in question.

Lastly Right click on the flag column and choose hide which removes the column from view.

the filter will remain in place, even though the column is not visible.

Please bear in mind that anyone could unhide this column to see the missing information - so this approach is ideal for printing.

When you want all the rows back on display just press the F3 Key on the top row of your keyboard - which sets project to showing all tasks again.

Let me know if this helps.

Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:

Autofit column width – Project (all versions)

At the top of the columns where each column name is located (Task Name, Duration, etc.), hover over the vertical column line which you want to move.

A short bold vertical line will appear, with horizontal arrows pointing left and right.

Left click and hold this icon and it will permit you to grab the column line, allowing you to move it left or right to your desired location.
