Hello,
Im doing a schedule for school where a project started on June 25, 2012. The project duration is 584 calendar days from the start date, which the finish date will be January 29, 2014.
I created a new calendar to represent "calendar days" meaning all days in the year is accounted for and made them 8hrs a day Sun-Sat. I chose this new calendar for my project duration activity and the finish date comes out as February 8, 2014. I am off by ten days.
I checked other schedules I've done in the past where i included a project duration activity and a certain amount of project duration in calendar days from the start date and they are about 10 days off from the start date as well. I have rechecked the calendar option, if I mistyped anything but I cant find my mistake.
I also doubled checked if the finish date is suppose to be January 29, 2014 using this site below, and it is right. Does anyone know where these 10 extra days are coming from? Thanks
