Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Sachin

If you did not create a new file before changing the work pattern then you will need to revert to the original durations by reistating the 8 hr day work pattern.

Save the fike and then save under a new name.

Add the 9.5 hr work poattern and the durations will be shorter because that is the whole point of the change.

If you want to maintain the original durations then go back to the 8hr file and filter on "tasks" - set the duration display to "days" and copy all the durations.

Go back to the new 9.5 hr file and set it up as before - paste the old durations into the column and close the filter.

Save the file.

Best regards
