Timescale - weeks

[Art Keating]

Hello,

Has anyone encountered this problem with a 3-tier timescale. There i
a checkbox for each tier - Use Fiscal Year and for Tier 1 I have use
Quarters with the box unchecked, Tier 2 I have used Months with the bo
unchecked, and Tier 3 I have used weeks (numbered 1,52, etc.) with th
box unchecked.

The quarters are presented as calendar quarters, the months ar
presented by name, but no matter what I do the weeks are numbered base
on the default Fiscal calendar I have defined.

Am I overlooking something or is this just a bug in MS-Project - alway
numbering the week from the fiscal calendar start irrespective o
additional instructions?

Any enlightenment would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Ar

Art --

I am absolutely able to confirm you findings using Microsoft Project 2007.
I'm not sure I would call this a bug, but the behavior is certainly not
expected or desirable. It looks like the 1,2,...52 numbering system for
Weeks starts its numbering with the start of the Fiscal year, no matter
what. I don't know of any way to work around this, whether a bug or by
design. I will report this as a bug to Microsoft and see what they say
about it. Hope this helps.

Hi Art,

I can reproduce exactly what you report using Project 2003 SP-3.
With the lower tier in weeks numbered with the 1-52 label, it
restarts from the FY, no matter what I do.

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

Hi Art,

I am also facing this issue with timescale that changes view/field
when zoom on it. Did you find any solution or workaround since? Ha
Microsoft given any answer?

Thanks to keep me in touch.

Have a nice day.
