Is there any way i can have one task with to different bar colours on it?

I would like to have it show 5 weeks but also so 8 weeks on one bar?


if anyone can help please

Hi Pedro

You can have multiple bars displayed for a task depending on what you want to display (example duration bar with progress complete).

I'm not sure what your 5 & 8 weeks mean, can you let me know what task data you wish to display, we can then hopefully help you.

Well i have a task which want to say/show WB Projects design duration is between 5-8 weeks and i wanted to show 5-8 weeks on one bar.

Your best best would probably be to designate several bars two 'similar tasks' and group them all under a single summary- if it is multiple formats you are after.

Or perhaps it is a kind of conditional format you require that changes colour dependant on the amount of weeks the duration spans across?

Hi Pedro

thanks for your question - you might also want to try adding a deadline to your task. So your task shows the planned end date and the deadline indicates the latest you wish this task to complete. To add a deadline double click on the task and go to the Advanced tab. Set a date in the deadline beyond which you do not want that task to cross. If the task end date does pass the deadline you will be alerted with a warning in the indicators column.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Andrew
