Parent rows don't seem to calculate total duration correctly

I am working on a sheet with many sub sections.

I noticed that the parent row total durations seem to be far higher than the durations of the child rows within them.

I assumed they must be pulling data for too many rows, but when I collapse the section the correct rows disappear.

Any suggestions?

    Hi,

    That is like it should be because the duration on the parent is for the whole section/project and from start to end with consideration to the working days setting in the Project Settings.

    In Briefs, it's 101d because the earliest date is 23/07/19 and the latest is 10/12/19, and that's approximately 101 working days.

    I hope this helps you!

    Best,
