Welcome to my channel. Thank you so much for your post and nice to know you are in Canada. I have been to Montreal, Quebec and Toronto and loved it. Have a great day.
Hi Christian, thanks for your Ms Project users input. I am wondering and trying to figure out how to use baselines in timeline. Regrettably I could not find answer to it. If you are aware how to use this solution please let us know in any of your videos. Cheers.
Thank you for that interesting question. As such Ms Project does not give you the possibility to show the baseline on the timeline. I could see one way to represent what you want working with a master project and 2 subprojects. One of the subproject is you current project where you do the tracking and the second subproject a copy of the first project when you did the baseline. This subproject 2 will never evolve. With this in the master timeline you can pick tasks and milestones either from the current situation subproject 1 or from the reference subproject 2. Have not tried it but let me know if you have any luck with this idea or any other. Greetings from Geneva.
@@vision6D Thank you a lot for your immediate reply. Before, I did more or less the same as what you have described above, but it is not the best solution :-) If you are close or in touch with the Ms Project development team please report it, as it is good feature to implement.
Very grateful for your videos Christian. I'm a project novice. My Gantt chart keeps "disappearing" and I don't know how to re display it. I use " view Gantt chart tab"... but I still can't see anything ! 😕
Thank you for your comment. If it keeps disappearing, try to play with details checkbox in view, or pin the window, not sure if it helps, let us know. Have a great day
Hi. I sometimes produce Timelines to support project proposals. However, rather than showing dates on the project timescale, I would only like to show month or week numbers i.e. M1, M2, M3 etc. Is this possible within the Timeline?
Thank you for your question. In Microsoft Project, customizing the Timeline view to display month or week numbers (e.g., M1, M2, W1, W2) instead of specific dates is not directly supported through the standard Timeline tools and settings. The Timeline is designed to provide a visual snapshot of the project with specific start and end dates. However, you can achieve a similar effect by copying your timeline to powerpoint where you can edit it as you wish. Some examples: ruclips.net/user/shortsddezgADN-Lc ruclips.net/video/M5uBfrGJHYU/видео.html Have a great day.
Thank you for your interesting question. Could you give me an example ? Do you want to round 3.5days to 4 or is it something else? May be you could subscribe to the channel?
The text comes up, I need it to be displayed on a timeline, but because the timeline is short, the text doesn't appear completely. Can I send you picture via email?, thanks a lot.

hey there, I do change the status date and mark tasks as 100% completed. However, it doesn't appear on my timeline as progressed( dark blue color). Is it because I am using MS Project 2013?
Very clear, thanks sir !
You are welcome.

How can the full text be displayed on the timeline? I have a short task and the full text is not showing.
Hello,
Thank you for your question. Go to the timeline select the task, right click -> display text as callout.

Thank you for your question. Yes this is due to the version. Progression of tasks in the timeline is a feature of version 2019. Greetings from Geneva.
@@vision6D I can not seem to get this progression feature to work in my O365 downloaded version. Does this feature work in O365?

@@martinlyoung yes this works. May be my question sounds dumb, but are you using the desktop version?
