MS Project 2003 assigning values of individual project workdays within a summary task

[ttippie]

We are trying to set up a column that will calculate the work day associated with a task within a particular summary task. Our project is set up with weekends and holidays showing as non-work time. Each summary task calculates the proper duration in work days overall. We need to report what workday within a summary task each individual task falls on. eg. friday oct 28=day42, monday oct 31= day 43, etc.

Does any one have any ideas?

Of course, ultimately , is the automatic calculation mode - Automatic Scheduling - To be implemented to manage the planning , calculating the critical path , margins ... etc.
