To associate the start date with the end of another task, enter a formula in the start date that refers to the end date of that task.End DateThe ending date is calculated by adding the Duration (calendar days) to the Start date minus 1 day, because the task duration is from the beginning of the Start day to the end of the End day.Duration (Calendar Days)Enter the number of calendar days for the given task. Refer to the Working Days column or use a calendar to determine the corresponding working days.

For the main tasks, you can calculate the duration by finding the maximum End date of the sub tasks and subtracting the earliest start date. For example:F11=MAX(E12:E15)-D11Percent CompleteUpdate the status of this task by entering the percent complete (between 0% and 100%).

For the main tasks, you can use a weighted average of the sub tasks by adding the formula:G11=SUMPRODUCT(F12:F15,G12:G15)/SUM(F12:F15)Note: If you insert rows, make sure that the calculation is updated correctly.Working DaysCounts only Mon-Fri, using the NETWORKDAYS() formula. When planning work based upon the number of working days, adjust the Duration until the desired # of working days is reached.Note: If the start date is later changed, the number of working days may also change.Calendar Days CompleteThis column is calculated by multiplying the Duration by the %Complete and rounding down to the nearest integer.Calendar Days RemainingThis column is calculated by subtracted the Days Complete from the Duration.HELP

- Modify the GREEN cells and the WBS, Tasks, and Task Lead columns. The rest of the columns are formulas.- The number of weeks shown in the gantt chart is limited by the maximum number of columns available.- The Start Date that you choose determines the first week in the gantt chart, starting on a Monday.- Change the first day of the week via cell K8- Use the slider to adjust the range of dates shown in the gantt chart.- Only 34 weeks can be shown/printed at one time, because each week uses up 7 columns.

Q: How do I make Task 2 start the day after the end of Task 1?Use the following formula for the start date of Task 2:=EndDate+1where EndDate is the reference to the cell containing the end date of task 1

Q: How do I add/insert tasks and subtasks?Copy the entire ROW (or a group of rows) for the type of task(s) you want to add and then right-click on the row where you want to insert the new tasks, then select Insert Copied Cells.Important Note: When inserting a new subtask after the last subtask or before the first subtask, you will need to update the formulas for calculating the Level 1 %Complete and Duration (see below) to include the new subtask, because the ranges won't automatically expand to include the additional row.

Q: How do I calculate the %Complete for a Level 1 task based upon the %Complete of all of the associated subtasks?Example: If Task 1 is on row 11 and the subtasks are on rows 12-15, use the following formula:=SUMPRODUCT(F12:F15;G12:G15)/SUM(F12:F15)

Q: How do I calculate the Duration for a Level 1 task based upon the largest end date of a sub task?Example: If the Level 1 task is on row 11 and the sub tasks are on rows 12-15, use the following formula=MAX(E12:E15)-D11

Q: How can I include holidays in the calculation of the Working Days?You can add a list of holidays to exclude in the NETWORKDAYS function. See the help on that function.

Q: How do I change the print settings?Select the entire range of cells that you want to print and then define a Print Range in the Format menu. Then go to Format > Page and select the Sheet tab. Adjust the Scaling mode as desired.
