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.

I’m having real difficulties with this.

For example, I have 5 activities in a group, the total duration from start to finish is 10 days and one hour, yet the Group Total shows 4days and 4 hours??

I have all the activities on the same calander....

??

HELP!

Cheers,
Scott.

Scott,

The Duration in Group band(summary duration) is calculated from Global default calendar and unit of time admin preference(ie 8h/d or 10/d). It starts from the earliest time in the group of activities. If hrs/day in user preference and default duration in admin preference are same as well as default Global calendar is same as activities calendar then you should not experience this problem.
