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 everybody,

I wanted to show a Roll-up Baseline Summary Bar in "Group By Summary"... I changed the fields in "from" & "to" in bar chart by "baseline start" & "baseline finish" respectively... & I put the Group By Summary in the "show..." field...., but it did not show what i wanted...

Is anybody there encountered same problem I have...

I’ve had this problem as well. It’s one of the many errors (in the bar styles section) of MSP.

If you replace "baseline start" by "start" it works. In my particular schedule all first activities under each WBS started as planned so I got away with this ’workaround’.

Ronaldo,

can you explain more...

If u want the project summary, u can get the same by Project summary task from the options menu...

otherwise, if u want to show summary for a set/group of activities, the same can be done adding additionjal information in the Text/number field...

for any details/clarifications contact me at venkat79_j@yahoo.co.in

Ronaldo,

I can’t get it to do it either. It might be to do with having formatted the grouping AFTER having saved it with a baseline.

It could be worth performing a few experiments.

HTH.

James.
