      As task #299 is not the last task in your project, check the following:
      1. All tasks except the last task and first task should have at least one predecessor and successor
      2. Check if you have Finish no later than, Start No late than constraints on tasks. This can affect the calculation of the slack
      3. Check if you have deadlines on tasks, which can affect the calculation.

      Yes, you can sync a list of tasks with SharePoint. Your team members can view the schedule and update their work in SharePoint, and you’ll see the changes in Project. And vice-versa. Do expect, as per the documentation, if there are more than 100+ tasks the sync will be slower. Know more on how to use this feature at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/sync-with-a-sharepoint-tasks-list-fb956d2c-723d-4d5a-b7e5-710ef82aa27a and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/troubleshoot/project/sync-with-tasks-from-project

      Let’s know if this helps

      Unfortunately, you can’t do it. Custom fields and outline codes, in general Project, doesn’t allow you to choose more than one value in the list.

      You can use multiple fields and make a selection in each one and then combine the data in another field. As an example, you’ve created a lookup in three Text columns (Text1, Text2, and Text3). A choice can be made in Text 1 only, in Text 1 and Text 2, or in Text 1, Text2, and Text3.

      Customize the field Text4 enter the formula:

      [Text1] & ” ” & [Text2] & ” ” & [Text3]

      I suppose your question is on Project desktop client. On your first question on report on deadlines, create a filter with Deadline not equals NA (see this picture https://i.imgur.com/BwsFHwq.png for steps). I don’t get your later question on calendar view, please elaborate

      Locked flag is used for Project Online / Server to prevent team members from entering additional time on a completed task. Though there are alternatives available like macros, customizing filters and views, it will not prevent users from not editing the tasks.

      Hi Koen, This should work. After changing the system date and opening Project, check Current Date in Project > Project Information. Max Units knows today’s date from Current Date field.

      Max Units (in Resource Sheet) is the availability of that resource on today’s date. This value is calculated from the “Resource Availability” table in Resource Information dialog. It doesn’t consider if the resource is occupied with work or not.

      Resource Availability (in Resource Information) indicates the availability of the resource during a particular period. Say 23 Sep 2020 to 23 October 2020 the availability units is 100%. If today’s date is 22 September 2020, Max Units will be 0%. If today’s date is any date between 23 Sep 2020 to 23 October 2020, the Max Units will be 100%.

      Linking % complete field to a spreadsheet is not possible in Project. Alternatively, you need to use custom fields and macro to solve this requirement. First, in the custom fields (text1, text2, ..) have the file location of the spreadsheet and the cell range or address that has test results of each equipment. Second, write a macro to calculate the overall progress for each equipment by using the details of the custom fields and updates the % complete field.

      This is not possible. You can’t rename the labels Baseline, …, Baseline 10. Your latest baseline should be saved in Baseline, as values stored in this baseline set is used for variance calculation. Baseline 1, …, Baseline 10 is used to store the previous baselines. So, to take a backup/copy of your current baseline, in Set Baseline dialog choose Set Interim Plan with Copy from as Baseline and To as Baseline 1.

      The Agile feature is only made available in the subscription Project Online Desktop Client that comes with Project Online Professional or Premium subscription – not the 2016 or 2019 products.

      If you want to know more about this feature look at this article from Tim https://www.mpug.com/articles/newly-released-agile-capabilities-in-ms-project/

      Hi Carl, since you want the lowest of the four fields use this formula IIf(Number1=1,1,IIf(Number2=2,2,IIf(Number3=3,3,IIf(Number4=4,4))))
