rolling up minutes to hours

[TC]

setting up a meeting where tasks run 10-30 mins each. How do you make Project
add that time up to the overall time in that section? (ex. 3 20-min tasks = 1
hour)

we don't want percentages or decimals of the day, just hours

thanks

Hi TC,

I'm not sure I understand completely what your question is. If you have
the meeting set as a summary task and each of the tasks making up that
meeting indented as subtasks under the meeting summary task, the summary
task duration should show the total duration of the span of the tasks.
Have you linked each of the subtasks?

Do you really want the total duration or the amount of total work
expended over the multiple subtasks? Do you have resources assigned?

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

no, we don't have the subtasks linked to the summary tasks. how does one go
about this?


thanks!

Hi TC,

You don't link the subtasks to the summary. Just ensure you have
indented the subtasks (which will create the summary) and link the subtasks.
