Same plan 2 computers different calculations - help please

Good afternoon/Morning depending where you are.

A fellow planner has come to me with an issue today, he's finding odd calculations in his plan.  I've opened the same plan (we're in the same server).

On mine the original duration is different, the remaining is different to the same activity in the same plan when opened on his machine.

We've been through the usual checks to see if his calendars are different etc but nothing seems to be different in any options so we can't understand why his appears to be working on a different calendar to mine.

SPI calculation in P6

S
SepSep Hoss 👤 Member for 14 years 2 months

In our previous month’s update we had a forecast (remaining early)of 10 million for this month. This month our actual is much less than last month and is around 5 million. We have assigned previous month’s update as our baseline for this month. So that 10 million forecast is now our baseline. But still our SPI is 1 in P6! So even though our progress is half of our baseline our SPI is still high.
Any idea what is causing this?

Date Difference between MSP and P6

R
Ron Beechey 👤 Member for 10 years 2 months

I have an activity for 22.5 days in P6 and MSP.   Both have calendars that are 6X10 with Sunday non working.   In P6 I get the dates 3/27/20 to 4/16/20 and in MSP 3/27/2020 to 4/24/2020.  

There is a need to use the MSP plan as an overall roadmap and the detailed P6 file to feed it.  

Anone have any ideas??????

Have a missed setting something in the setting in either product

Primavera 18 opens last opened project upon startup!?

J
John Reeves 👤 Member for 13 years 1 month

Primavera 18 opens last opened project upon startup!?  How do I turn this off?

 

I think I read that it can be turned off in user preferences but that is not correct.  With last file I imported, something went bad.  And now primavera tries to open it when starting Primavera, it tries to read this bad file, sais "bad something" and the program will not open.

If I could get into the program I could delete that project.  

Any suggestions?

Cannot import XER file, "contains resource data"

Hello Pplanners,

I recently tried to import a XER file into P6 15.2, and I received the following warning/error message "This file contains resource data, import canceled"

Does anybody know the reason of this message, that I saw for the first time?

Thank you,

Alexandre

Curved Data Date - why? what? when? is it for?

J
John Reeves 👤 Member for 13 years 1 month

I am used to seeing a straight data date line. Lately I been seeing curves data date lines, ie curved out around certain activities.  I assume this is from a setting, and after googling it with-out getting an easy answer I am asking you.  What does it represent?  Where is the setting for it?
