Hello everyone,
I would like to know how to total up all the durations on the critical path so I can see how long the critical path was before and after updating and rescheduling. Is there a simple solution other than exporting durations and totalising them after filtering for CP tasks.

Thank you Alex
 
You could use the built-in "Critical group" which will group your critical versus non-critical tasks. Add a custom Duration field (Duration1 for example). Create formula in the custom field [Duration] and in the Custom Fields dialog box, select "Sum" for "calculation for task and group summary rows".
 
Thank you for that too Julie, I knew it would be simple, Cheers ALex
