Change number of hours per day before it proceeds to the next
Hi all,
I'm currently running a project that my resource only work 3 hours a day on. Can anybody advise if it is possible to setup something that dictates number of working hours per day before the date goes to the next day?
eg. If i assign a resource 6 hours of work on a Project A (considering the resource only work 3 hours a day on Project A), the "Duration" column will automatically indicate 2 day and the start to end date will change accordingly.

Hi @Yao Ming
You can set custom working hours in the Project Settings of the sheet. See: Modify Project Settings.
This will adjust the length of a working day for the entire sheet:
- Then if you set a task to have a "6h" Duration, it will adjust the dates to show that this means 2 days:
See: Project Sheet Columns: Start Date, End Date, Duration, % Complete and Predecessors
