How to ignore "working days" to get "consecutive days" at duration?

Porzel Hans

Dear All,

In a project plan "working days" are usually Monday through Friday. But how can I handle a situation, e.g. when at a construction project concrete get cast and the concrete needs e.g. 3 days to harden. The concrete is also hardening on weekends.

In Microsoft Project there they have the feature "fdays" ("f" stands for consecutive; - German version). Question: Is there also such a feature in Smartsheet available, or is it maybe possible to shut out weekends, holydays, etc., by a formula, either?

Any answers to this matter will be greatly appreciated! Thanks to everyone who contributes!

Hi @Porzel Hans

Yes! You can use elapsed time in Smartsheet to indicate when a Task should ignore Holidays and weekends. To do this, add an e before the duration, like so:

e3d

See: Enable Dependencies and Use Predecessors
