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 have often been requested for the contract calender we are using on the project showing the working days based on the contract, taking out non working days, public holidays, festivals, etc etc. Back in P3 days we could have a calender which showed the working days but this did not come with the P6 (now version 7.). I now have to rely on excel to come to the rescue but has anyone got any where with Oracle of putting this feature back into the new versions. Has anyone got another solution? Reports?

You could import into Asta PowerProject and use the print calendar function (which is missing from P6).

Mike,

Interesting solution, i can export a calender view but only a month at a time or could get a claender with spreadsheet view with ordinal days but it will not printout with a non working days. The first image is what is required in excel and what you can get viw P6 calender and and spreadsheet view. I would like to see your slotion if you would to email?
