I inherited a project made of 8 tasks. Each of them can be considered as a single project. I put all of them in a single project file. Each project is a summary task which includes the related activities .

Each week I need the report the Status for all of them by writing its minute. I attach to each minute the gantt of the task by saving it in a standalone file Task.mpp then save it in PDFs.

Is there a chance to print the gantt for the single task from the main file without showing all the other tasks?

Thanks

have you tried adding a custom column?

right-click on the Gantt table -- add column-- type some custom name such as "subproject" and enter a name for each task. then go to View--Data-- filter-- new filter


you can now filter your custom column so that only one task is visible at a time. all others will be hidden.

I agree with Alejandro: the solution is to filter out the unwanted tasks.

If you don't want to add user-defined columns, you may be able to use an existing column, say WBS, that is sufficiently unique across your projects.

Thanks guys for your support. I had the chance to try both solutions and they perfectly fit my needs. Thanks again.

To add a further note about WBS Solution:
I've implemented the filter based on WBS and set it to:
"equal" "1.*" to make sure that all the subtask were shown.
