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.

Please could anybody tell me if it is possible to export individual project data dates from a Project Group?
I have tried using the report writer in the Project group but it specifies the Group data date only for all Sub-Projects. Any Ideas???
I am trying to create a Group report which identifies when a sub -project was last updated.

Thanks Jorge

What you`ve said will suffice for my purpose although I was hoping for a simpler report.
I can still utilise excel to give me what i need in the way of a simple report.

Hi Forum Guest,

1. First, make sure that your setting allows for multiple project data dates.

From the menu, select: >Tools >Schedule> Options
Select Advanced Tab
Remove check from "Project Group Scheduling"

2. Run the schedule with the Schedule Statistics Report.
From the menu, select: >Tools >Schedule >Schedule Now.
Note: Do not use F9 as this doesnt bring out the Report.

You will see in the report that the different projects in the project group will have different project start dates, project finish dates, data dates, etc.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Jorge

In option, uncheck overwrite sub-project data date when scheduling.

How about creating a Custom Data Item (type = start) in each of the subprojects use a global change to set the value of the CDI = Data Date.

Bit long winded but it works. If I remember right you can also use PRMBatch, but I dont have the manual (or the CD).
