Changes to subtasks are not reflected in the summary task

This article was previously published under Q312379

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Project, when you make changes to a subtask, those changes may not be reflected in the summary task for that subtask.

For example, if you change the amount of work on a subtask, the total Work value at the summary level may not adjust appropriately.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if the Calculation options for Microsoft Project setting is Manual.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, change the Calculation options for Microsoft Project setting to Automatic. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Calculation tab.
  2. Under Calculation options for Microsoft Project, click Automatic, and then click OK.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.

I was trying to figure out this problem for around half a day. I set the calculation option to manual thinking it will act on whole MPP for resource leveling. Thanks God I could find this tip and able to create MPP for my project. It was a great help.
