Gantt view not showing critical path in red

beatea

I recall this may be an issue with indentation but can't find the information now.

I would like to use my sheet as both a master task tracker and a section for schedule. When I click on the critical path icon in gantt view I don't see the content highlighted in red. Dependencies are set and such already.

Hi @beatea 

Hope you are fine, please check the following article to understand all the details about showing the critical path Track the Critical Path in a Project also please note that :

1- you must check that no open ends for the relationship between activities.

2-you must check the lag between the activities and the total float.

3- you must check the relationship type ( FS-FF-SF-SS) between activities and if it's in the correct logic.

I have a follow up question - I have a schedule with links from other sheets where I'd like to see the CP. If I add processors to the linked cells in the CP sheet, the dates change.

Two questions

1. Will having linked cells prevent a CP from showing up?
2. Is there a way to find out what's blocking the CP from looking at the gantt or some other method?

Thanks
