Change the Scale for the Calendar Period Columns in Project Planning

In the Projects hub in Planning mode, you can view and enter hours for resource assignments by day, week, or month.

To change the scale for the calendar period columns:

  1. In the Navigation pane, go to the Hubs section and click Projects.
  2. Switch the Project/Plan toggle to Plan.
  3. Click next to Scale above the grid.
  4. In the Change Scale dialog box, select one of these options in Scale:
    • Days & Months: Display plan data by day for one or two months, with the rest of the plan data displayed by month.
    • Weeks: Display all plan data by week.
    • Months: Display all plan data by month.
  5. If you selected Days & Months, do the following:
    • In Use Day Scale Starting, select the month in which you want to begin displaying plan data by day.
    • In Use Day Scale For, indicate if you want to display one or two months of plan data by day.
  6. Click Change.

    The calendar period column headings change to reflect your selection, and any existing hours in those columns are recalculated based on the new scale.
