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.

I am surprised to see that after so many years of the first launching of P3 for Windows, the same DOS Tabular & Graphics Reports are still there with no improvement and with no possibility of adjusting the fonts or the graphics.

Does anybody has a way to improve on these reports to have look more professional?

Thanks.

Dear Sundaram.,

May be the following will help.

***********************
IN P3 do the following:
***********************

Step 1) Export -> Export Data File - Lotus - Resource Data

Step 2) Contents -> Select Activity ID, Resource , Budgetted quantity

Step 3) Format -> Sort by Activity ID

Step 4) Click RUN & OK

***********************
Now Open X-L :
***********************
Step1) Open the X-L file (By default it will be in P3OUT Directory)

Step2) If you didn’t assigned any resources for an Avtivity => Type the Resource and Budgetted qty in the respective fields in X-L.

Step3) To add MULTIPLE resources, copy & paste the Activity ID and do the step 2 above.

Step 4) Save (Note to keep the existing format, don’t convert to X-L)

***********************
Once again IN P3 do the following :
***********************

Step 1) Import -> Import This Period Resource and Cost Data

Step 2) check the path

Step 3) Click Run & OK

Regards.,

Yes agree with ANIL, b coz in planning you need to analyze don’t 100% rely on computer output / results. Doing the work by hearth is the best you can do for everything.

The core design of P3 is no change from DOS to Window version, ie no significant change from v1.0 to 3.1, only new features added.

If you want something excited, I was told on P3e/c. I mayself not prove it yet.

Dear,
One of the advantage of GUI compared to DOS is the export/import function. If you are conversant with export import function, you can play in excel the reports in whatever fashion you need.
P3 I feel is Embedded with this feature. Hence make use of it.
