Hey Can anyone kindly send me the steps to make s-curve percentage in P6? My e-mail is: hamedesavand@yahoo.com Thanks.

Dear Mr. Arnold,

Can you please share with me the procedure of Generating S curve in P6.

My Email ID: riyaz.ssits@gmail.com.

Iam new to primavera and I want to generate S curve using pimavera for below scenarion.

Every year we will have many projects(Mechanical,civil,Instrument,etc) and we have to complete the projects on time.Below are the major milestones for each project.

1)Finalizing the scope of work

2)Creating PR

3)Awarding PO

4)Kick off meeting

5)DEP Approval

6)Equipment or Material Delivery

7)Construction

8)Punch list clearnace and System Handover

9)Depreciation and Closeout.

I have to track the completion status of each milestone with respect to time(duration) and I have to report the status of all ongoing projects to our Management.

Please let me know how I can generate S curve by assigning weightage to each milestone with respect to duration of milestone completion.

Your kind support will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance....

P6 will not directly export %ages per time (x-axis) to excel and generate the s-curve from there.

The first post of Arnold is telling you how to export resources; but this is for resource loading per activity only.

P6 will only give you the resource allocation per time (month/week/year) per resource or group or resources, and this will be the basis of you S-curve in excel;

The resource allocation per time is generated thru the reports, or thru the resource assignments tab feature of P6

Arnold,

just trying to minimise these irelevent replies re emailing the steps for s-curve from p6. Is it possible if you just copy paste the steps in this post, or maybe its too big??

Hai 

 

How to insert the Planned Progress % Column & Actual Progress % column in P6

 

Dear Planners.

i just uploaded a Excel template for how to generate.

Dynamic S curve.( planned and earned)
Dynamic Summary Progress report.
Dynamic Detailed Progress report.

https://www.box.net/s/ryfxdtnnyhz7qpufgp5l

for the planned value either you import directly from P6, or generate it using the early start and OD, but it is a very simplistic approach, as it suppose the distribution is linear and there is no holidays in the duration of the activity.

in the budget, put whatever you have either manhours or cost, or just value to map your weightage.

the progress is weekly based, you just put the value of the cumulative physical progress in %

and sorry for the hideous Histograms, i am trying to figure out how to change the setting in Excel chart.

hope this help

Dear All,

I’m calling all who has the copy of how to generate S-Curve in P6 to kindly send me also a copy for my reference in my email address - mesdward@gmail.com

Yes you got it right, your call is appropriate, I do appreciate a lot all our members no matter what software they do use. I even consider P6 the suitable tool when you need an Enterprise application, like when you are a Utility Co. but from P3e to P6 the software is no good for the average construction contractor, is a monster.

Primavera started getting everywhere long ago, it even took over PMI, just look at their definition of Time Impact Analysis and you will read about "Fragents" only available in P3 and maybe absent in P6. These and many similar specs were written by the servants of Primavera who have vested interest in their products and do not care about the American spirit for free enterprise.

The problem is that this thing is taking over where it is not the appropriate tool. My fear is that eventually Government Agencies will require you to use it.

I always thought that universities should develop open source software that would be available free to be used in government jobs, to satisfy government needs, that can be modified by any developer. Then these modifications could be tested and certified to be used as a substitute in these jobs.

Best regards
Rafael

It would be easier if you buy at a Flea Market some 20 years old software that can do this at the click of the mouse.

If you want to get rid of the mouse then P3 DOS version might be a bargain.

Faster, better and cheaper.

Hi Arnold,

Would you mind to send me a copy how to produe S-curve in P6 in mesdward@gmail.com

Hi Wungyea,

Yes, that’s correct. However, there is a workaround to play with the 6 digits or more than. In order to do that, try the following:

1. Let say you have 10 digits (e.g. 1234567890).
2. In this case, you can only have the 6 digits as a whole number but you can have as many numbers with decimals places (e.g. 123456.7890).
3. In order to convert the decimal into whole number, you need to delete the period/dot (.) using (<-) backspace or delete on your keyboard.
4. Just simply point your cursor in between the 6 & 7 numbers and delete the point/dot using the No. 3 step. The result 9e.g. from 123456.7890 to 1234567890).

Try this and let us know.

Arnold

Dear all,

I know your not supposed to post these sort of posts on here, but generating s- curve is something i have been struggling with. Could anyone possibly send me a copy of the steps?

I would really appreciate it.

Many thanks

Despite the steps in P6, I guess one needs to understand the algorithm of generating the S-Curve so that it can be tailored to certain requirements.

Hi Arnold,

Can you email the steps to me too at engrsarshad@gmail.com
Thanks ad have a good day.

Arnold, good afternoon!!

Can you send me the steps to make s-curve percentage in P6?

My e-mail is: ateixeir@msn.com

Best regards, Junior from Brazil.

Hi Barry,

Yes, it will give you the Schedule % Complete depends on your Activity’s Baseline Duration has been completed and computed based on where the current data date falls.

You can export the percentage value to excel using "Activities" as your Export Type. However, you cannot modify this percent in Excel as well as in P6.

Regards,

Arnold

Hi Cecil,

I am sorry but I cannot find it. I am using P6.2.1 I tried to search in my colleague’s computer he is using P6.0 but unfortunately it is also not there.

You can create S-Curve in your P6 by percentage. Send me your email address and I will send you the steps.

Regards,

Arnold

Hi Cecil,

You are welcome. Anyhow, where do you want to show your S-Curve, in Excel Spreadsheet or P6 Windows?

Because if you are working with Excel sheet you need to create a "Chart Wizard" utilizing the actual & planned values you had exported from P6.

If you are working with P6, then simply go to View --> Show on Bottom --> Resource Usage Profile or Activity Usage Profile as well as you can go to "Tracking" located at the left corner of your monitor.

Let us know if you have done this.

Regards,

Arnold

Hi Cecil,

If I understood your question correctly, You want to export the actual & planned value from P6 to Excel spreadsheet?

If this is what you want then the steps below will works. If not then, you must cite an example.

Regards,

Arnold
