SYMPTOMS
When you import a Microsoft Office Project file in Microsoft Office Visio as a Gantt Chart, the task duration may appear as 0d (zero days) in the Gantt chart.

Note Gantt charts are bar charts that show activities and durations.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur when the task is set with both a milestone and a duration in Project. Visio does not support milestones when a duration has also been defined in a task.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior in Visio, do not include a milestone in a task that contains a duration in your Project file.

However, if the duration in your imported Project file appears as 0d, double-click the duration, and then type the correct duration value in days.
