Ava has attended:
Project Intro Intermediate course

Months

My plan shows months May, June, July etc etc. Is it possible to hide some of these months columns that have now passed?

For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability

RE: Months

Highlight the columns/rows you wish to hide then right click. Select 'Hide' on the menu that appears.

RE: Months

I have tried this and it does not let me highlight the columns

RE: Months

Hi Ava

Hiding columns works slightly differently in Project. When you choose to hide a column it is in fact removed from the table (although the data remains in the database).

As an alternative perhaps you might like to use the filters instead. From the Project menu choose Filtered for then choose More filters. The "Date Range" filter might give you the results you are looking for or perhaps either "In progress tasks" or "Incomplete tasks".

Once applied Project will use the criteria in the filter to only show those tasks that meet your requirements.

I hope this is helpful - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks
Andrew

 

Ms project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
