Thanks for the tip! I’ve also created a second column and changed the [start] to [finish] so I can see which project weeks my tasks run over.

By changing my project start date, I have my start up tasks showing as -weeks and then the correct numbering for the project weeks.

Just what I was after!!

Great tip! I am often trying to calculate this by hand and that is really handy to have a way to put that in automatically!
Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. Seems that in Project 2000 I had to re-type the “w” and change the semicolons for commas, but I got the column working. Now what I want is to actually show a Gantt chart with relative dates, not aboslute. This is for estimates where I want to say – it will take this long with staging from the start date – whatever that start date turns out to be…..
Would be great if MS project could do that, but I suspect that it is another example of where MS project doesn’t work in the real world…

I’m getting a syntax error. It doesn’t like the “w” bit. any ideas?
