Title: Help with Milestone Dates
Post by: FlowerGirl on February 08, 2016, 04:19:56 PM
I have a question about basic milestones.
I have a basic timeline linked to excel data.
From what I can see when you put a milestone onto the timeline, it will automatically position itself based on the date field named "Start" and in the ShapeSheet it is named "visMilestoneDate".

My question is, is there a way to repoint this to another date within the excel data?
I have another date in my data called "Finish" and I would like to be able to have a single milestone that would look at that date.
I know I could use intervals to show a Start / Finish date perspective, but in some cases I need to have independent milestones that can read a "Start" and a "Finish" from a single linked excel document.

Is what I am asking a possibility?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

As far as I can tell, this can not be done.
You may have to add in another tab within your excel data link and use it for your finish dates.
