In the field of project management, we talk quite a bit about productivity. One easy way to track the time left until a project’s completion is with Timescale. Timescale displayed in Gantt Chart (Bar Chart) has two tiers – the starting date of the week on the top, and the week day label on the bottom.
The week day label is highlighted below.
You can customize the Timescale to display the number of days left to complete the project. This is how you do it.
Step 1: Double click the Timescale or right click the Timescale and choose Timescale.
Step 2: Select Middle Tier tab.
Step 3: In Units drop down select Days and in Label drop down select 4,3, 2, 1, … (From End).
Step 4: Change Show: drop down to One Tier (Middle).
You will now notice the Timescale displays the remaining days to complete the work.
