Hi all
I’m having a strange problem that I hope someone can help me with.

In my plan (MS project2010), the working time per day is set to 7 hours and working week is 35h.

I create a task with Work 16 hours and assign it to one (1!) resource working 100% (=7 hours a day). MS Project, in Gantt view, calculates the duration correctly to 2,29 days.

BUT: When I look for example in the “Task Usage view” or the “Resource Usage” the task will be executed in two days (8 hours each).

Is this a bug from MS or what am I missing?

Thanks in advance,

Jarno
 
Have you set the bars to less than one day. Right click on the ghant area of the project and slect layout. there is a check box were the bars are rounded to whole days. make sure that is clicked off.
