Working Days without Enabling Dependencies

ShannonT

Is there a way to plug in the Working Days criteria (non-working days, holidays, etc) without turning on Dependencies? I'm trying to build a sheet that recognizes weekends and company holidays as non-working days, but I don't need Predecessors or Duration columns.

In the past I've enabled Dependencies then literally blacked out the unneeded columns and hid them. However, I'm now working on a sheet that has many columns and rows. I don't want the sheet to have anything extraneous if it doesn't need to.

Thanks,

Shannon

Based on this article by Smartsheet you do have to enable dependencies to enable working days.

Sorry - hiding the columns might be your best bet.

Sneaky sneaky. Remembering this one. Thanks Craig for showing us a work around.
