Hi, John. I don’t understand your situation well enough to be able to help you 
with a solution but I can talk through MLO’s concept of filtered hierarchies 
and maybe it will help.

 

It appears to me that you want to apply a filter to your hierarchy and have it 
applied across all the levels of your hierarchy. Unfortunately it’s not that 
simple.

 

Hierarchical views are created in two steps (well, more really but only two 
that matter to this discussion) First, the main and advanced filters are 
applied to create a flat list of items that pass the filter at that level. The 
second step makes it hierarchical: the children and/or parents (per your 
request) are attached to each of the items that passed step one. The children 
and/or parents are filtered based *not* on the main and advanced filters but on 
the child filter and/or parent filter (click the “config” button after the Show 
Hierarchy filter). Then the resulting trees are merged and your view is ready.

 

I’m not sure if this is what you are after, but you could try turning Show 
Completed to Yes in the main filter and adding a child filter, Complete is False

 

None of this explains why you would get a nearly empty view when you set the 
main filter for Show Completed to No. We would have to dig further – if you 
don’t need to investigate this question that’s great, otherwise please let us 
know whether the project or any level parent of the missing tasks were 
completed. If not, to investigate this further I would ask you to post your 
profile file to the forum – if you do not want to publish the actual contents 
of your profile (I wouldn’t) maybe you could create a new blank profile, set up 
some dummy projects and tasks and reproduce the situation there, and then post 
it.
