Depending on the number of years visible, the quarterly scale for time scale tier 2 can get really wonky, sometimes showing Q1/Q3 or Q2/Q4 only, or sometimes being totally mismatched versus the calendar years shown. Example: Q1 then Q3 then Q2 then Q4 then Q1 then Q3 - everyone is super upset and confused when I show PRO timelines with confusing quarter time scale versus the shown years. I have written and complained about this before. Why can't you allow option to select which quarters to show on the time scale? Or to simply SHOW ALL, ALL OF THE TIME. I don't care if Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4 are smooshed together.
Now I have to manually create a table and float it over the stupid mismatched quarterly time scale portion of my PRO slides. Extra work.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I am having the same issue and I am not using the power point plug in. I am using office timeline web app. I want to see all quarters in a year. It's throwing off my timeline big time. It makes the timeline not match up. Is there a way in the online app to have all quarters show on the timeline? I do not see any way in which I can manipulate that level of detail. I guess my question is, who / what determines what quarters up?
Good Idea to layer another row manually using Power Point. I'm going to try that, but I recommend a better way to do this using the online app since that is where I do a lot of communicating and sharing of timelines.
Dear Brian,
It seems that you are using the Office Timeline add-in in PowerPoint.
If yes, it is a third-party add-in. I'm afraid that our category may have limited resources on it. I suggest you go to their website and contact their support for further help.
If no, welcome to post back at your convenience.
Meanwhile, I'll keep the thread open and welcome other community members to share their opinions and suggestions.
Thanks for your understanding and effort.
