Total for Work Hours in summary doesn't match sum of work hours for tasks

[Robert M. Darby]

Hi All,
I have a project that I’m managing as a fixed work. Resource availability varies daily as we share our project team with ops. Once I enter the work for each subtask, I notice that the sum of all the work in the under a summary doesn’t match the total of work listed for the summary. Is this normal?

Thanks
Mark

Mark, it’s hard to tell with what you show because it isn’t an actual Project view. First thing to check is, do you have anyone assigned to the summary task?

Hi Larry,
I have no one assigned to the summary. I just created a brand new project file, and listed three tasks under a summary. The tasks total 6 hours… but the summary shows 0. I’m starting to believe I have an issue with my install of project.

Thanks,
Mark

Okay… I feel stupid. I had somehow, accidentally, turned auto-calc off.
Thanks a bunch…
