(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.

run a global change
where physical % complete is greater than 0
then duration % complete = physcial % complete
Pls guide me its urgent
Hi Guys ,
I am also having the same problem , I made the program on P6 and now i import it to P6 R8.3 and now i fixed the baseline, loaded also the cost . But once i Start update the progress & once i schedule , it is showing 0 % in Scheudle % complete & Performance % complete.
this depends on what you measuring stick is it can be uints or costs go to the projects directory make sure that your projetc is highlighted add a column for Duration % Complete, Labor Units % Complete, Cost % compelte, Performance % complete, Units % complete or anything else that you want.
THen right click and select summarize project.
It's just a very simple question:
How can I show progress in the sub-totals and totals of P6?
In this case I'm trying to show performance % complete and schedule % complete.
I guess the picture makes the understanding easier.
you can not look at % complete like that becasue each activity can have a different % complete TYPE it can be physical,duration or units so in essence you will mixing apples and oranges.
you can see the diffent % complete types and how they work at my link below

Dear All,
How do I get percentage complete in P6 considering the duration weightage.
Please help.

Old post, but there's a great guide explaning how schedule % complete works in Primavera P6 over here https://www.planacademy.com/primavera-p6-schedule-percent-complete-guide-1/
Velmon,
The Issue you are discussing is not an issue infact.The grand Total for activity % is not shown because there is no use of it.From name you can guess that it is activity percent not the project percent.If you want to see the project percent then it is one step process,i.e,BC/BCWP*100=project % complete...But in activity % complete column you will get only activity % individually.Still if you think I did't get your question or you have any other issue regarding P6 then email me your project along with a detailed mail @ fayez@almobty.com or engineerfaiz_aries@yahoo.com
Hi Deepak
If you have three activities A,B & C.Suppose both A & B is having Finish to start(FS) relationship with C (condition C is the final activity which affects project completion date).
A->C(FS with lag 3)
B->C(FS with lag 0)
Both B is a critical activity & A is having a total float =3. So A is not critical.
Deepak,
If you link all of your activities with finish to start relationships and create a chain through your project, then of course, they will be critical. The critical path is defined as the longest chain of events running through your programme and also activities which have a total float of less than n days. You can define the n days (I mandate 10 days for my team which gives early warning of when activities will be turning critical).

Dear Deepak,
Send your file to me. I'll check it for you.

Hi Velmon,
Maybe this would help you assign a one resource as manday in all of the activities in your export P6 to calculate the duration percentage as well as your baseline programme for the schedule %, but in order to get % in updated programme you have to be sure that the resource manday should be in Baseline, and update it accordingly it will show all you have asked for.
Remember this is % duration complete.

Hi All,
I am new to project planning although i have used P6 four years ago i have for gotten everything. After long gap i have started scheduling residential villa project , for me all activities coming as a "Critical Activity" ????????? i have linked all activities based on FS logic one after another. like chain link. when i did it years ago i used to get some non critical activities too but now i am getting all activities as a critical activity. Please any one can help me out in this regard. It will be a great help.
Thanks

hi senthil,
the same here is my issue, but i tried to copy how's my P3 file organized from P3 itself and copy the same to my P6 orginizing concept, its done, but the problem is,after i am reviewing my WBS codes to my new P6 files,there are missing codes which are not copied to my P6 imported file.
hope someone will help.
Thanks,
Al
We are having a similar problem (no P3 import, but rollup issues). We want to clearly indicate to our Project Manager the percent complete on a rollup basis....but are unable to get the percents to rollup correctly. The only exception is Duration % Complete, but this is not a practical rollup to truly indicate progress. Having a real struggle with this one, and would appreciate any ideas or input!
