Working Days Report

Question

In the UK we have public holidays for Christmas day, Boxing Day and New Years Day.  I setup a template for 5 years so will put in the exception for 25th December for 5 occurrences.  It may be that the 25th falls on a weekend in which case the public holiday will move to the next available working day.

In previous versions of Project I used to run the Working Days report to ensure that all public holidays fell on working days and if not I would put in a separate exception.

I cannot find this report in Project 2013.  Does it still exist?  If not is there any way I can ensure the dates are correct without going into each exception.

Thanks

Answer 1

If you still have access to MSP2010 you can open the file there and you can use the good ol' reports. One day MS might explain why they release a new version of software which removes perfectly functioning features and adds new ones which are both unnecessary and don't work (timeline).

Anyway, one thing I do is list all of the holidays and other nonworking days as tasks/events and give them MSO date constraints, and print that. You can always roll them up out of the way under a summary.

Thanks Dale

I thought that might be the case but was hoping for a different reply :)

At least I can now stop looking!

No, the paper reports from all previous versions of Microsoft Project were removed and were replaced with the new Dashboard Reports feature in Project 2013.  Therefore, the Working Days report is gone forever.  I would recommend you do what I do:  manually search for holidays that occur on a weekend, and then create your manual exceptions as needed.  Hope this helps.
