In P6, how to show a milestone's date to reflect the earliest start date of the group predecessors' activities rather than total

Dear All,

In P6, how to show a milestone's date to reflect the earliest start date of the group predecessors' activities rather than total float driving from the group predecessors' activities.

Image removed.

 

In the above snapshot, for my reporting purpose, I expect the start date for Activity ID300 from the group of predecessors should reflect the earliest start date of 01-08-2023 instead of total float driven predecessor's activity's start date of 29-08-2023

You need to make the Milestone Task a LOE and hook up to all the predecessor tasks with both a FS and a FF, then format the LOE Tasks to show only a Milestone.

If you want to show other LOE tasks as a LOE then you will need to create a Activity Code for normal and milestone LOE tasks and a bar style for both and apply the filter to the two LOE bar styles in the Bars form.

Hello Kannan Balaram,

I think your screenshot is missing. So you want to see the Milestone Start Date without all the Total Float?

What about creating an Activity UDF called 'WTF' (Without Total Float), UDF Type will be Date, then you can run a global change calculation of:

WTF = Start Date minus Total Float.

 

I haven't tested the concept but it is a start and other minds better informed can help.
