Hi,

I am trying to show the date on the barchart area against certain tasks and milestones.

If I add the Start date field as the text against the task/milestone, it appears as DD/MM format.

However, what I need to show is the date as DD/MM/YY format, but I have trawled the MSP Help files to see how to reformat this with no success. Help anyone!!!

Any assistance gratefully appreciated.

Many thanks.

Try going to Format and Layout you can change the date format in there.

Funny really. I had a look at different ways of doing what Tony wanted, but even I didn’t think of going into Format-Layout. I’ve been using MSP for nearly ten years, so it just goes to show that we can all learn new tricks. Ok, I’ve never actually worried too much about the date format on the bars, so didn’t need to investigate it. However, you would have thought that going into Tools-Options and changing the date format there, as you would for the date columns, would have also changed it for the bars.

Same here James - been using MSP for about the same amount of time and never had to worry about it until now. Just goes to prove that you can teach an old dog new tricks!!!!
