How can I add gridlines to distinguish the weeks in the chart in

Hi,

I was asked to add a gridline to the project plan to distinguish each week. can you please let me know how to do this?

Hi Aniko

Thanks for your question - great to hear from you. See if this helps.

Go to the format tab and choose format gridlines then from the dialogue box select Middle tier column (the middle tier of timeline is usually set to show weeks) and pick a line type and colour.

When you click OK you should now have a line for every week - let me know if this produces the kind of thing you are looking for.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Thank you! That helped a lot :)

So, next question. How do I make sure it prints the weekly gridlines as well? It only prints the monthly ones for me at the moment. I choose the bottom tier which is set to weeks and it still doesn't do it.

MS Project tip:

Compare Work and Duration

Duration is the timescale within which a task is done; Work is the specific time element used. For example, 3 days work in a duration of 2 weeks. To compare, add the Work field into the Entry table by right clicking a column heading to Add Field.
