From: matt6363 on 7 Dec 2009 11:07 Is there a way to use a count of days instead of a date for a project? For example, can I start a project on "Day 1" instead of "December 7" and have the count increase to "Day 2", "Day 3"...?

In P2007 and earlier, you can hide the start/finish date columns. For the Gantt views you can change the format of the timeline using Format/Timescale... and select an appropriate format (exampe Week1, Week2..., or, 1,2,3,... from start or end). If you want to get busy, you can put a formula in a spare Text or Number column. Try this one for start: ProjDateDiff([Project Start],[Start])/[Minutes Per Day] This will give you all task starting on the first day as "0" ... so you may want to add "1" to is to correct for this offset. Note that duration based calcs in Project provide results in minutes. -- If this post was helpful, please consider rating it.
