Default Rollup of mulitple sub tasks and non-working days

I have a basic project set up with multiple levels of sub tasks under one summary tasks. (see photo attached). The thing I cant figure out is this:



using 168004 (green summary task) as an example, I have one project (a 91 day) that started and finished in January 2016. Another project (pmi support) started in july. How can I make the green summary task ONLY show the total days I actually worked, and not the total span from the start of the first one to the end of the second one.

the simple answer is that if you want to keep your current programme, you cannot. A summary bar is just that;a summary. It starts on the first day under it and finishes on the last one. Any gaps or non working time dont matter.

If you are happy to change the layout, you can make another summary task at the same level as the 168004 one and give it a new name. this would then separate out the 2 projects as separate. as far as I know, thats pretty much te only options.

Have you considered showing the Work field to show much work was actually accomplished during the duration? As you have discovered Duration <> Work. The duration counts the number of working days between the start of the earliest subtask to the end of the latest subtask. You can have a situation where there are large gaps between subtasks that will be reflected in the summary task duration. However, the work for the subtasks will be summarized correctly.
