Workload chart showing effort for cancelled and completed tasks
Effort is being included for tasks in Cancelled and Completed states, even if you filter the chart to include only Active.
Is this something that can be changed?
I know there is a future update to look at effort more in a burn-down concept; but even then, there could be estimated effort that was not needed.
If the task is in a 'finished' state, it is preferred not to include the effort in the resource management views

Hi, is there on update on this - it is happening for our team as well. thanks!
Hi Karina Welna, welcome to the Community and thank you for bumping this thread. No updates for the moment, we'll be sure to let you know if anything changes👍🏼
Hello, this is impacting our workflow as well. Having an option to remove closed / completed tasks from workload would be idea.
Hi Scott Rackliff, welcome to the Community and thank you for adding your support here🙋🏻♀️
I'm in favor of this! Any update on it?
We desperately need the workload chart to not reflect cancelled task hours as they're no longer needing to be included in the overall count since the work was cancelled.
Hi Julie Smith, thank you for chiming in. Currently, this suggestion is on the lower side of votes, let's hope other members keep upvoting it until it gets the 60 votes to receive a status. In the meantime, we are passing your feedback to our Product Development Team and we will inform you in case there are any changes regarding this feature 🙂
Can we have an option to not have projects that are on Hold or Cancelled add to the overall effort in workload view? We have a large team and not everyone remembers to disable effort for these two types of tasks.
This seems like it should be a high priority and logical fix in Wrike. How can anyone have accurate reporting if effort for cancelled tasks are being calculated? Cancelled tasks should be excluded, turned off or zero'd out automatically. Or at least offer an automation to do this!
It isn't a perfect workaround, but we're using an automation rule with the new "un-assign" option. Any time a ticket is closed in the relevant space all users are unassigned. This removes the workload from that user.
Hello Randy Austin, thank you for supporting this idea and for sharing your feedback with us, I've passed it on to our dedicated team. Scott Rackliff thank you very much for mentioning this workaround! Looking forward to hearing more ideas from you in our Community 🙂
Thank you Scott for that input and very useful at the user workload level. This still does not solve the issue of the effort still calculating in the project itself. So when we report on effort spent for an overall project, cancelled tasks are still being included whether someone is assigned to it or not. You have to manually go in and remove or turn off effort for each cancelled task in the project which is not efficient.
Is there any update on this? we are experiencing the same issue.
Hi Pia Rice, welcome to the forums 👋
We don't have an update at the moment, but maybe the workaround Scott shared above could work for you? Please let me know.

Hello! I also need the completed& cancelled tasks to be removed from the workload. Is there any updates on this feature?
I agree, this is basic functionality to at least filter this view like any other area.
Hi Idoya Sanz, thank you for chiming in. I'm afraid that we don't have any updates at the moment, we will keep you updated if we're informed of any changes 👍
Trey Moran thanking for adding your support to this suggestion!
Hi everyone! We've looked into this topic again and would like to suggest the following solution:
This way not selected status groups (canceled, completed, deferred) will not affect workload calculations. Please try it and let us know how it goes. Thank you!
