Tips & Tricks for April 2026

(Click the question title for the answer)

I want to add a background color to every other line in order to read the schedule more easily.

I need to create a data graph with both bars and lines on the same DataGraph area.   It appears that DataGraphs  can either be bar graphs or line graphs, but not a mix.    Suggestions?

How can I delete commas for values which run in the thousands?  For example 2371 is currently shown as 2,371.  Due to space limitations I want value to appear without commas (as 2371).

I imported MS project to Milestone Pro but the task names do not appear above the milestones.  See picture below:

When using the Percent Complete SmartColumn, how do you change the color of the pie chart that appears?

I want to show milestones above and below the task bar so I can have a condensed presentation format.  Please advise the steps on how to show symbols above and below the task bar.

I want to have text inside a horizontal bar on my schedule.  Is this possible?

I want the percent complete value to populate as symbol text when a symbol-horizontal bar-symbol is added to the schedule.

Is there a way to copy a symbol row with text into another schedule? I’ve tried to copy and paste the row into a new chart, but it didn’t work.

 

How can I get the vertical link behind the task bar and not in front?
