I have converted a Powerproject file to msp, however the duration & total float formats are mixed, ie some are "15 d" and some are "3 w". I cannot see where you can change them all to days??

    Andrew,If you are running MSP

    Andrew,

    If you are running MSP 2010+ and are comfortable with vba, you can drop this into a module and run it:

    Sub DurationDays()

        Dim t As Task

        For Each t In ActiveProject.Tasks

            t.Duration = Application.DurationFormat(t.Duration, pjDays)

        Next t

    End Sub

     

    (Method is supposedly different with earlier versions, but I have no way to test.)

    Otherwise, you may be stuck with manually changing the durations, perhaps with a little clicking and dragging.

    Good luck, tom
