Hello,

I m trying to divide our master project to sections as subprojects. I have already used 10 character length id when i was developing level-2 schedule. Now i think i must decrease this to at least 8 digits.

my problem is: i have 12 sections in our project, and i want to divide master sch. to 12 subprojects. If i deleted section numbers in activity id’s i could not show this in subproject id.

Let me explain in an example;

As far as i know, one of the subproject id must be letter, and must be only 2 characters length. For section-1, Subproject id should be S1,and this could be go on to section-9. But problem begins after this section, how can i indicate section 10? i cant write S10....
What wil you advise?

One more question, How can i delete 2 numbers in from the middle of activity id’s with global change..I found way to delete from starting or ending but not from middle..

ACT ID : EN1001AC01 i want to delete 10 from this id..

Thanx for advance..

    Hi ali kandemir,

    If you wish to change your activity id with a global change, make use of variables, for example:

    &PT1 = Left(ACT,3) & "ABC"
    &PT1 = &PT1 & RIGHT(ACT,4)
    ACT = &PT1

    for the subproject id’s; if you name Section 10 S10, it will indeed be stored in the S1 subproject, so you better make use of Alfanumerics:
    SA - Section 1
    SB - Section 2
    SC - Section 3
    ...
    SJ - Section 10

    Regards,
    Marc
