Total Slack Calculation Incorrect in SubProjects vs MasterPlan
Hi All,
I have created a Master Plan with multiple sub projects, using Microsoft Project Pro 2010. My Critical Path has negative slack, which is properly displayed on the Master-plan, however when I open a subproject, that is in the Critical Path with negative slack, the Total slack shows zero days instead of (-)xx days. Example: In the Master Plan, The last task on Project A is a milestone, that is linked to the first task on Project B. In the Master Plan, Project A has (-16) days of Total slack and Project B has (-16) days of Total slack. When I open Project A - Total slack is zero When I open Project B - Total slack is (-16) days I have run some tests but none seem to solve the issue: 1.I have selected and deselected Multi Critical Path box - Still show the same issue 2.I have selected and deselected the "Inserted Projects are Calculated Like Summary Tasks" - Still show the same issue 3.The calendar is the same across all the sub-projects and Master-plan. 4.The Custom Fields are the same across all the sub-projects and Master-plan. 5. I have Service Pack 2 on my PC Has anyone came across with this issue? Thank you for your help in advance |

Do you have any tasks in the master project that are not part of the subproject? Normally negative total slack is from a missed deadline or constraint. Have you added constraints in the master project that are not in the subprojects?

Hi Julie,
thank you for your reply. I have a constraint in Sub - Project B, however I don't see why the negative slack wouldn't appear in project A anyway, since the activities in this file are preceding Project B. |

Are you opening subproject A outside of the master project? If so, it is not calculating the negative slack due to its relationship to project B.
