PRJ: How to Remove a Leading Split in a Task

WORKAROUND

• If no resources are assigned to the task, change the duration to zero, and then change the duration back to the original value.
  
  -or-
  
  
• If a resource is assigned to the task, follow these steps:
  
  
  1. On the View menu, click Task Usage.
  2. Click to select the value 0 at the beginning of the task's work values under the timescale (the row labeled "Work" in the right pane), and press DELETE. Project removes the leading work value with 0 value.
     
     NOTE: The "0" may appear differently depending on how the timescale is formatted, for example "0m," "0d," "0w," or "0y."
  3. If more than one work item at the beginning of the task has 0 value, repeat step 2 until there are no more such Work items.
  By removing the work items with 0 value at the beginning of the task, Project removes the leading split.
