Hello friends,

 
I have a small problem regarding the number of duration for activities.
 
Example:
 
Activity 1 has the original duration as 5 days. but the dates are as follows,
Start -- 20 feb 2013
Finish -- 25 feb 2013
 
But if we count the number of days, it actually 6 days..
I need finish date should be 24 feb 2013.
 
1st day -- 20 feb 2013
2nd day -- 21 feb 2013
3rd day -- 22 feb 2013
4th day -- 23 feb 2013
5th day -- 24 feb 2013
 
is it any setting problem??? please help me to sort out.
 
Thanks,
Sivaganesh

    Sivaganesh,   If you start

    Sivaganesh,

     

    If you start activity 1 at 8am on 20th Feb, and it is 5 days duration, it will finish at 8am on 25th Feb.

     

    This is correct.

    Gary,it is correct but

    Gary,

    it is correct but confusing.

    Start at 8am on 20th of February and Finish at 17pm on 24th of February is also correct but not confusing.

    Finishing project on Friday evening or on Monday morning is the same but those who want to use the product on Saturday may be disappointed.
