Default Help with Setting 4 (10) Hour Shifts

Hello,



I need help trying to make my schedule work out for me. I have the 2019 version of Project and my employees work Monday-Thursday (10) hours a day. I went to "Change Working Time," created a new calendar, made Friday, Saturday and Sunday nonworking days. I then made the hours on Monday-Thursday 0600-1200, 1300-1700. When I do this and try to do anything that is longer than (4) days, I have issues.

For instance, I have a task that shows as (8) days starting on Monday 02/01/2021 and ending on Wednesday 02/10/2021. That is only (7) working days. If I make it end on Thursday 02/11/2021, it shows that the task is 9.75 days. How can I make this show as (8) working days and end on Thursday 02/11/2021?

Now, I have also tried going to "Options" on the "Change Working Time" dialog box and changing the work days to (10) hours per day and that just creates all sorts of confusion and shows the work days as 1.6, 3.8 and all sorts of decimals.

Go to File > Options > Schedule tab and define the calendar options. make sure hours per day is set at 10.



Then go to Project > Project Information and make sure the time part of your Project Start date is 06:00



After the above settings, re-enter your durations.

Microsoft Project stores durations in hours. Though you entered 8 days, the system converted it to 64 hours (8 days x 8 hours) therefore when you changed "hours per days" to 10, the system showed you 6.4 days ( 64 hrs / 10 hrs).

But once "hours per day" is set as 10 hrs, any duration you enter in days will be converted to the right duration in hours.
