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.

Hi Roozbeh,

Try these Filters:

(Any of the following)

Where Predecessors "equals" 100
Or Activity Status "equals" Completed


HTH.

Hi Arnold,

I tried the filter and it lists all the activites which have a predecessor (their predecessor is not blank), and are completed, while I need list of activites as follow:
1 - Their predecessors are complete.
2 - They are not started.

Also Gordon’s suggestion does not work in my case, because there are some out-of sequence completed activies which their successors’ start date is not equal to data date.

Is there any other idea if I can filter "not started" activities which their predecessors status are "completed"

Hi Roozbeh,

Try this Filter:

Activity Status "equals" Completed
Predecessor "is not equal to" blank

Note: Blank means do not put any value.

Probably the quickest way is to filter for all those activities whose remaining start = the Data Date (they have nothing holding them out).

Hope this helps,

Gordon
