Default Non-add up tasks

Hello, I have a list of tasks, some of which are trackable with a completion %, but the rest are more like a check list.



When I entered those tasks into MS Project, they added up to the project overview percentage.

Any suggestions on how I may add such tasks without affecting the project overview, particularly while generating a report?

Thanks, Tamer

The % Complete value automatically rolls up to every summary task and to the Project Summary Task (Row 0 or Task 0) as well. There is no way to disable this functionality. Why would you even want to do that? Let us know and we will try to help you.

I need to list all of the tasks and activities so that I can track them all in one plan, but when I did so, MS Project took into account the percentage for all (tasks + activities). In addition, I must report on the status of the tasks but not on the activities.

What you want to do is not possible in Microsoft Project if you have both the tasks and the activities in the same project. Delete the activities from the project and add them to a new project instead. To see both the tasks and activities at the same time, you can create a master project consisting of both projects. Hope this helps.
