Summary Milestones

[Motordeasy]

Hi, first-time caller,

in MS Project 16 I have several tasks repeating themselves in groups of subtask. ie several countries but each country have the same tasks and each country is running in parallel to other countries. My question is, I want to be able to see the date, the earliest or latest looking across all countries. Not interest in which country but which country has the earliest date for a set repeating task. Can it be done?

thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum. I'm not sure I understand your question completely. Are the subtasks all grouped under the same summary task? Have you created a summary for each "country"? If so, the summary task start is the earliest start of any subtask and the summary task finish is the latest of any subtask. Can you give more information? Perhaps attach a picture?

Hi

Imagine there were several more countries in the example posted. I want line 20 to look at 5,11,17 and tell me the which line happened first.

thanks

So, without IDs - you want the task "break ground" to show the earliest of any of the break ground tasks in each country? This is not something natively accessible in Project. You could do some grouping but you'd have to code the "break ground" tasks using a spare field and then apply a group. Right now the "Break ground task" is scheduled to start after the latest task.
