Multiple Plans with consolidated Gant Charts

[bpomykala]

Hello, I have multiple mpp files and would like to see the their
individual gant charts overlayed in one file. Is this possible? I
would like one view of the 3 gant charts.

Thanks

Brian

Brian,
Certainly. First open a new blank project. Then go to Insert/Project and
select the individual files that you want to consolidate. What you will
end up with is a dynamically consolidated master. That means that
changes made in the master will be reflected in the inserted subprojects
and vice versa.

However, be advised that if you have custom formatting in the individual
projects, it will NOT appear in the master. You will need to create
whatever formatting you want at the master level.

Hope this helps.
