Indicator of ressource assignment

P
Phil Gab 👤 Member for 10 years 3 months

Hello all, 

I am new to this forum.

I would like to create in the table of my Gantt Chart an indicator showing if one or more resource is assigned to the task (ie green light if any resource, red if none).

i am trying to use a custom field indicator but it does not work.

Exemple : i am trying to check if the field [Resource name] is Null or not.

Any idea how to do ? 

Thanks.

Summary Status in Group View

Is there a way to show the Summary status on the Gantt Chart when the tasks are rolled up?  I know if I select "Maintain Heirarchy", I can get the summary status as well as a percent complete, but if when the tasks is rolled up to the colored group summary, the status isn't shown on the summary bar.

Resource Analysis Help - Microsoft Project 2013

Hello!

I 'm hoping someone here will be amiable to helping me get the data I'm looking for out of Microsoft Project. I'm not really looking for another software solution at this time (though, I'll definitely be browsing at the CPM Conference next week); but, I'm hoping to figure out how to get the data out of the program itself and into excel.

In the interest of full disclosure: I've spent the majority of my career working in P6, so i'm having a tough transition going to Microsoft Project.

MS project - converting from P6 and opening in MS project.

Hi all,

I've hit a brick wall with this one and just want to check with you to see if there's a solution

to it.

I'm currently using Primavera P6 v8.3.2 and want to export a file into a MS Project format.

The options are '.MPX, XML' formats, both of which are not supported by MS Project 2013 when

I try and open the file.

Is there a converter out there or a workaround to allow me to open my Primavera file or

should I buy an earlier version of MS Project that does support these file formats e.g. MS project 2007?

I have a schedule in which I am using 2 different calendars. One for Design activity which is 6DX8hrs working and the other is construction whihc is 7X22hrs working. Since, construction activities domiated design, I have considered default working hrs as 22hrs & 7 days in a week as working. I have assigned the task calendar according to the nature of activity viz-a-viz design or construction.
