Hi,
I'm new to MS Project (using MS Project 2010) and am working on a schedule where some of my tasks are on a 20 hr/day schedule (construction) and others are on a 8 hr/day schedule. I've tried making task and/or resource calendar changes, but from what I can tell I'm restricted in my durations to however many hours/day are in my project calendar.
For example: My project calendar says the default day is 8am-5pm, 9 hrs in a day (assume no breaks). Task 1 is a 20 hr/day task. If I set a task calendar to show working times of 20 hrs, and put in a duration of 1 day for this task, it cuts my task off at 9 hrs. If I set my project calendar to 20 hrs/day in a typical day, Task 2 (8 hr task) is now 0.45 days to begin at 8am and end at 5pm.
Is there a way around this, so that I can calculate '1 day' based on the task calendar as opposed to the project calendar?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
