Long Answer - Are you familiar with VBA? I'm pretty entry level on this area, however I'm certain that you 'could' write a macro which:Ĭreates two custom columns, "Start Day Num" and "Finish Day Num"Ĭount difference between ActiveProject.ProjectStart and Task.Start date.Ĭount Difference between ActiveProject.ProjectStart and Task.Finish date. A - As far as I'm aware, the short answer to this is "No". Can I renumber my project Gantt chart and Start / Finish columns to show day numbers, as opposed to dates?Ģ. You could set the start date of the project to some time in the future, and then bring it back towards Today as and when the project is actually going to get going.Ģ. You may not actually need to keep moving the date.

This Milestone will drive the rest of the project.

However, if you have any other tasks, also due to start at the start of the project, which are not linked as a Start-to-Start for example, then you will have to manually edit these entries too.Ī quite way around this would be to create a Project start Milestone, to which all initial tasks will be linked Finish-to-Start. So long as all of the tasks are Linked, then everything will move based on their predecessor.

If I change the start date of my first task, in Automatic Mode, will it change all others that follow?ġ.
