Default Dynamic based on answers?

Hi All,




Is there a way to design a re-usable schedule that can change based on the answer to questions e.g.


Have a schedule that can be used to build a house. It's detailed and covers everything from planning permission to adding a garage. However the 2nd house already has planning permission and doesn't need a garage, so remove those sections.


We appear to be re-building schedules all the time which leads to variances in quality. I would like to build a master schedule that is linked to a questionnaire i.e.:


1: Is planning permission required?
2: 2,3 or 4 Bed house?
3: Is a garage required


Take these answers and dynamically change the schedule based on the output of the questionnaire.


Is this possible?


Regards,


Scott

One of the VBA guys will be along, but simplistically, I guess you could do something in Excel and copy/paste it in to MSProject

ie create a table with all the options in the build sequence, and select those that you need in a column called "required"

Filter on those required (or use a pivot table) and paste the resultant data into Project

Ref Task Duration Required
1 Is planning permission needed 10d Yes
2 2 bed house 110d
3 3 bed house 120d Yes
4 4 bed house 140d
5 Garage 10d Yes
