Define a range of tasks for an Overview

We may want to create an 'overview' task in a ProjeX sheet that shows us how a group of tasks (in the same sheet or another) is progressing.

Select the group/overview task in the ProjeX sheet with the RMB and select the 'Define tasks ...' option from the list.

This brings up the following dialog asking us to select the tasks we want to 'group' in this single overview task

If we click on the icon the dialog minimizes and we can switch to the project sheet we want to combine and select the tasks to be used.

Expand back the full dialog having selected the range of tasks to use and okay out of the dialog.

This updates our overview task with the start and end dates, duration and the % completion of the group of tasks selected from the sub-project. These are direct Excel links so when we update the sub-project the overview will be updated the next time it is opened.
