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, trying to do a college assignment and mid way through programme, when I enter 1d for a duration it jumps to 6000w. Has anybody had a similar issue or know what setting will rectify this. Thanks

Hi, 

Check if you have resources in the particular activites and been closed on single day span (Act Start-Finish) it accumulates your planned resource distributio and distort the complete timeline. I just am putting my guess as it occers here in my Schedule several times when we close DELETED Provisional sums acitviities with cost loaded into it.

 

Regards,

Ameya

Hi Stephen - welcome to planning planet

Never heard of that one before - have you created a buffer task by accident - if so change it back to a normal task.

Next check your calendars both on the task and any resources.

Can you change it back to 1d by either:

Change the dates in the spreadsheet?

Drag the task back with the mouse?

You could have a glitch on the software - try deleting the task and putting it on a new row.

If nothing else then contact Asta Support - I presume you have an up to date licence.
