Duration Having Different End Dates

James Gilfillan

Hey All,

I built out a strong sheet using strong heirarchys with a focus on predecessors looking at a few key dates. When there is a predecessor, the duration column seems to act different. Sometimes a "1 day" duration sets the end date one day forward. Sometimes a "1 day" duration sets the end date to today.

There are no weekends involved and the only thing I can think of is the predecessor column and the hierarchy somehow changing this relationship. My workaround is some durations are set to "0 days" and some to "1 day".

Any ideas on how to stop this from happening?

The only time I've seen this is if you are not using whole days in your duration column somewhere along the predecessor chain. Make sure you don't have any durations that are .5d or .1d, something like that, as that would then make a 1d duration task span 2 days.

If that's not the case, can you share a screenshot of the schedule?
