    Thanks but in my version of msp in tools --> options --> view there are NO day 1, day 2 format, but only 1/w09, 1/w09/01..

    I use MSP2003, what’s your version?

    Lan,
    I am afraid you can’t; there is no such a date format in MS Project whatever the version is
    a workaround is to use the timescale: set up the lower level to "Days", then select the label to "D1, D2 (from start)" or "1, 2 (from start)".

    Alexandre Thank you very much

    Alexandre

    Thank you very much for this.

    Do you know if you can show Day 1, day 2, etc. in P3 / P6?

    Timescale

    Lan,

    yes you can!

    in P6, go to Timescale, set it up to display ordinal dates in days: it will display 1, 2, 3, ... from the selected date (project start, data date, ...)

    the same in P3, but you will have hard time to display the number on a daily basis; on my screen, it only displays the number for every monday
