DD+1m = ?

Hi All,

 

How do I prove, or find out, what date is actually reported in the formula DD+1m?

 

Lets say my Data Date is 25th November 2021 00:00 will DD+1m return 25th December 2021 00:00 or will it count how many days in the month of November or December and return 30 days or 31 days later???

 

Thanks,

 

Rod

Multi-schedule Program Summary Bar Cost Buckets - what does not work, what does? PPM vs EPPM vs cloud

J
John Reeves 👤 Member for 13 years 1 month

Multi-schedule Program Summary Bar Cost Buckets - what does not work, what does?  PPM vs EPPM vs cloud vs citrix?  I feel like this has changed lately and that each of the 4 variants of P6 allow different bucket level of costs?  Can I put costs on Summary activities in all of these program variety types?

Primavera Visualizer Scheduler Compare - can you export it to excel?

J

Primavera Visualizer Scheduler Compare - can you export it to excel?  It has gotten better, it is still weird and clunky though - I can only seem to print of the screen.  Can you export to excel, I tried to copy and paste to excel - that did not work too well.

Why is my top float path not the critical path?

J
John Reeves 👤 Member for 13 years 1 month

Why is my top float path not the critical path?  I have a float path that read -164 Total Float with a fnl constraint and completion date of Apr. 6, 2021.  That is a lower Float path than the next path that is -177 with and a fnl constraint of Apr.

P6 - For Financial Monitoring

Dear Experts

I am not sure if this is the correct forum topic that i chose to ask this question. but i hope somebody can understand and could answer my question.

 

 MY QUESTION: 

Can we use p6 for other than project scheduling?  For eg. for financial monitoring. For company's financial cash flow etc? Or maybe for procurement? Or maybe for project claim monitoring?

Please anybody , if u have done it or if u have any idea how to do it.

Your reply , your idea, your opinion is so much appreciated. God bless u!

creative ways to keep "level of effort" (ie overhead) items that take a long time but not critical away from your critical paths

J

creative ways to keep "level of effort" (ie overhead) items that take a long time but not critical away from your critical paths.  Ok, here is an example, you have a cost loaded schedule and you have an "overhead item" - one way keeping it from being the most critical is to filter it out = or show it for each month except for the last couple of months - which would be a couple months of float.  Sometimes we still ahve submittals but the important ones are out, sometimes we like to have overhead as a task because it is treated different as a hammock.  Sometimes things like "bi

P6 Baseline removed but data exists

Dear Sir,

I have un-assigned the baseline & then deleted the baseline for a Project using the Assign Baselines & Maintain Baselines functions respectively. There are no baselines now in the current Project. But still the BL fields are populated, the Gantt Chart shows the Baseline Bars & Primavera schedules the activities considering these baseline values !!! I also tried using the F5 & F9 keys but these values remain populated.

J

Links to online pdf's showing connection between estimating software and P6 - I need to show it is not that hard...I commonly find contractors telling owners that can't do cost and resource loading because it is too hard.  I need some pdf materials showing it isn't.  Not as easy to find as I thought.  I need to tell them the pros and cons as well.
