Filtering a Plan to display a date range

[Peter Rooney]

Is there any way in which I can filter the displayed plan to only display
tasks being worked on between two dates, in the same way as you tell Project
to print out only tasks between a date range?
If I try to do this with the Date Range filter, it doesn't give me what I
want.

Thanks in advance.

Peter,
I am confused. The Date Range filter should filter the display the same
way it filters for a report. Can you give me more details about what
you want and how you're doing it?

Dave,

Thanks for taking a look.
I meant printing, not creating a report. I can specify to print, say,
01/01/05 to 31/01/05 and that's what I get. If I want to see just the
activities for a particular person, I filter the plan to them, but if I want
to (at this point I'm getting a horrible feeling that I'm answering my own
question...) do a date filter, I get all the summary rows, too, which might
start before 01/01/05, or end after 31/01/05.

I suppose the answer might be to filter and not show summary rows, but this
gives me a problem, as I need to know the name of the project that each
filtered task row applies to, without adding that name into the task name
field each time!

All I want is for my screen to look like my hardcopy!

Hmm, I'll sleep on it.

Thanks again.

Pete

Have you tried creating a table with the "Project" field in it to show
which project each task is assigned to?
