How to Insert Holidays in Microsoft Project

‍

‍

Here’s how to do it:

‍

1. Let's start by opening Microsoft Project. Look for the 'Project' tab in the top ribbon menu.
2. Now, click on the 'Change Working Time' option. This is where we'll manage calendar exceptions for holidays.
3. In the dialog that appears, make sure 'Standard' is selected in the 'For calendar' dropdown menu.
4. Next, click on the 'Exceptions' tab below the calendar view. This is where we'll add our holiday entries.
5. Enter a descriptive name and set both start and finish dates.
6. Now, click the 'Details' button to specify more information about this holiday exception.
7. You can set your working times for the holiday. For a full day off, select 'Nonworking'.
8. Finally, click 'OK' to save your holiday exception. Repeat these steps for any additional holidays you need to add to your project calendar.
