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.

Alaa,

This has always been an issue with P6, upto 6.2, and as Arniold states, v7 has its own time periods to correct this problem.
However, on versions prior to this, set your durations to hours and the issue will be resolved.

Hi Alaa,

Try to use WBS Summary as activity type for each WBS level or to the highest level.

With P6 v7, each calendar has its own "Time Periods" so you don’t have to worry.

at summary level, P6 uses global calendat to calculate duration.

Global calendar and project calendar need to be same to show matching figures
