I have searched the forum & found similar questions but I did not find the
exact answer, so apologies if I have missed something. I have a set of
package procurement sub programmes ie for each package say 10 activities
culminating in the appointment and lead-in for each package. For each of
those packages I roll up the bars so they appear on one line - so I end up
with 10 lines covering 10 packages. So far so good. However, if I add a
heading ie Procurement and then indent so that I can see the overall duration
for procurement, all the bars roll up to the procurement summary bar. Also if
I have a summary bar above those they roll up to that as well. I have tried
unticking the show rolled up bars to no avail, I also noticed that prior to
me indenting there seems no box to tick to stop the bars rolloing up. I
really do not want the bars rolling up to the higher summary bar - if anyone
can point me in the direction of the answer I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried the grouping function? Project > Group By > More Groups?

That will get you close to what you need, although you may have to add a
couple of custom fields.

Andrew,

If there is no any other reason to add heading task than just to see summary
duration, then you can switch on 'Show project summary task' option on
Tools/Options/View.
