Duration is not calculating correctly when using hours duration

Some parent rows have 0 days as the summationof the assocaited child rows and and some have arbitrary number of days.  Since it is in a rollup value from child rows I cannot change.  Any suggestions? 

Comments

  • Parent rows will automatically show the full duration of all the child rows - this is NOT a SUM of child row durations. The parent row duration is calculated by the time between the parent row start and end dates, which are rolled up from child rows. 

  • Is there a way to calculate the duration of child durations only (exact level of effort)?

  • Parent rows will automatically show the full duration of a set of tasks. If you would like to SUM child row durations, use this formula (not in your Duration column):

     

    =SUM(CHILDREN(Cell1))

     

    Replace the "Cell1" reference with the parent row Duration column cell.
