Your articles are extremely helpful to me. MS Project calculations are a hard to understand.

In reply to kiran. Kiran, Duration does not count non-working days (weekends, holidays).

I have a MS Project problem: say you have 3 rooms and 5 clerks, they will work for 3 weeks, one clerk in each room daily , 5 days a week. How do you get that schedule done (which clerk works when) ?

In reply to DCapps. OMG! Thank you for adding your 2 cents on this. It totally helped me out. I had the exact same issue and it was highly annoying. Thanks again!

Had an activity that was not started with 2 days in the duration field and yet showed 5 days in the between the scheduled start and finish date. It made no sense as there were no resources involved, the predecessors were not driving out the finish date and the calendar did not have any non-working periods within the start and finish dates, apart from a sunday. Everything looked right and I experimented with all kinds of options. Finally, I started making random changes to one field after another, calcing after each one. That is when I hit pay-dirt. I changed the % complete from 0 to 1 and hit enter and the program finally calculated the activity correctly. I then changed the % complete back to zero and all was fine.

Has anyone experienced anything like that before?
