Hi Everyone!

I'm trying to use MSProject to track different projects in the company I'm working for.

I'll be using the Duration with a calendar with working days in order to: assign public holidays, allocate resources, and see if I'm over capacity and need to expand (bringing more people to the project). I still need to learn how to create this.

At the same time, I need to be able to see the elapsed time. I'm doing this using a number column with custom fields driven by a formula that calculates the difference between Start and Finish. This works perfectly for tasks, but it shows 0 for Summary tasks (picture below), can this be solved? Having the time for the Summary Tasks will help a lot in knowing how much each phase will take.

Thanks!!!

In the Custom Fields dialog, select the custom field you created with the formula. In the "Calculation for task and group summary rows" section of the dialog, select the "Use formula" option and click the OK button. Hope this helps.
