Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Good Day P6 Users,

I have a project which started in March and I just completed October update.

I am copying units from activity usage spreadsheet to Excel to create a graph and I noticed that actual units distribution varies when I do some modifications on remaining activities without changing the data date.

I am wondering why are actual units changing even for march period ?

Does anyone have an explanation ?

Thank you.

Jean

Jean,

Suggestions:

1. In Resource detail, Uncheck the "Auto Compute Actuals"
2. In Activity Details, Use a "Fixed Duration & Units" for Duration Type.

 

Hope this will help.
