Allocation percentages not being added

JAT2

When adding a resource (Assigned To) and the % allocation on a task line, with subtasks, why will it not take the allocation percentage?

Paul Newcome

What formula are you using in the parent row to add the Allocation %, or do you have dependencies enabled in the Gantt View settings?

JAT2

Thanks for your reply. No formulas. Yes, dependencies are enabled. When I enter a number, it just disappears and doesn't stay in the cell. Any thoughts?

Paul Newcome

When dependencies are enabled, whatever columns are being used for those dependencies, the parent rows are automatically considered a "summary row" of the children rows. Changes cannot be made to those cells to include using formulas and/or manual entry. Here is a link that should help explain things a little better. It is the page the link in the screenshot below sends you to.
