Hello Experts,

I have about 300 projects in a master file that follow the same template.
each project have 9 major summary tasks with 3 or 4 subtasks underneath.
what am interested in is the construction summary task. the construction
summary task comes #7 in the template. I need to design a report/filter that
show that all or some (depending on what i want to show) of the leading tasks
to construction are complete. for example, Design is summary task that is a
predessor to construction. i want to show that all construction activities
happening in 2006 have their design activties complete. the same things
apply for Job estimate, material, contract, etc.

any ideas?

thanks

Hadi,
As you say, it depends on "what you want to show" - that's pretty wide
open. Without further information I might say that the summary lines 1
through 6 all precede construction and are therefore relevant.

Something you might want to consider is setting up a series of spare
fields for the various groups you need to report on. You could use flag
fields, number fields or whatever. Then a simple filter on that field or
grouping on that field should produce the results you need.
