Rolling Up Dates on Gantt Chart

TL;DR

Roll up dates on the Gantt Chart to automatically align parent task or project dates with the earliest start and latest end dates of the visible items they contain. You can apply calculate subitems to a single item or an entire branch after enabling the feature in Wrike Labs.

All users (except Collaborators, Contributors and Viewers) on all paid accounts can use date rollup.

By default, start and end dates for all items within Wrike are completely independent. For example, if you have a task with subtasks, the task and its subtasks can have different dates (they aren't automatically aligned). The same holds true for project dates and the dates of tasks within it.

All users (except collaborators) on all paid accounts can enable dates rollup from Labs for their individual accounts.

To roll up an item's dates:

1. Navigate to a folder, project, or space you need and switch to the Gantt Chart 1.
2. In the table portion of the Gantt chart, click on the three-dot menu 2 on the column title with dates you want to roll up.
3. In the menu that appears, hover over Calculate subitems 3.
4. Select the type 4, Turn on calculations for:

• Tasks and projects
• Tasks only
• Projects only

After completing these steps, the values will be automatically rolled up.

To turn off the calculations, repeat the step 2-3 and select Turn off all calculations 5.
