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 looking for a method to add columns to a P3 programme. I know I can use Custom Data Items but I would require more than eight. I wish to enter numeric/% figs in these columns.
IE Data from 2 weekly updates.
Regards,
George

Hi there

How many user defined fields do u have spare??? if u have enough u could create several and then do a global change on a weekly basis that says %comp = Field a (which corresponds to week 1), Field b - (which corresponds to week 2 etc)

Hope that helps

regards

Bradley

The most obvious way is to export P3 activities to Excel or Lotus and then add as much columns as you want. Another option - for advanced users who are familiar with DB design is to use InfoMaker.
