I see not replies on these form questions since last Aug - is it a subscription issue or does no one answer any more...

I see not replies on these questions since last Aug - is it a subscription issue or does no one answer any more... - if that is the case, I guess I should try.  But I think some are missing I saw before, so something is up.  But how will I see the answer to this question if that is the case?

Are there any decent P6 import templates out there?

J
John Reeves 👤 Member for 13 years 1 month

Are there any decent P6 import templates out there?  I have been doing it on and off for 35 years and it is always dicey.  I generally just export it, change it and import it back in.  The formatting gets goofy and does not work that great.  I think with P3 you had to add a letter in a column to get it right but I don't think that is the current situation.  Do you have to leave the column widths as is?  John

Dur % cpl vs Activity % Cpl - is the only way to get a % to show to change the original dur or use physical dur?

J

Dur % cpl vs Activity % Cpl - is the only way to get a % to show to change the original dur or use physical dur? - I thought there used to be a setting to connect rem dur to % cpl - but am I thinking of p3 not p6 and there is no setting in P6?  What is the best way to have a notice update with %'s.  I thinki I preferred P3 where they were tied - it is much easiery when % cpl matech the actual dur % but it is also not cool to have to adjust the origi. dur.  -  John

P6 Critical Paths / Longest Path(s) With Mixed Calendars To Multiple Contract Dates

I have a Project which has multiple Contract Dates (Contract Duration, 7 Contract Sections and 2 Key Dates).

As part of the Works I also have mixed working calendars (some activities run on 7-day per week calendar, but the majority are 5-day per week).

To generate a Critical Path for meeting each Contract Date I’ve used “Finish On or Before” Constraint on the Planned Completion of meeting each Contract Date (rightly or wrongly).

Primavera Import: exported 1 line for the format, but copy and paste of "format" to the dates below does not work.

J

Primavera Import: exported 1 line for the format, but copy and paste of "format" to the dates below does not work.  It will not produce the black triangle in the upper left like the real exported dates  which states "Text Date with digit year" and when I copy the date format it turns the dates into excel dates in number format.  2nd question, does putting a ' mark in front of the id - is that enough to make it importable.  I have imported on and off for years - I just forget the nuances.

P6 Professional r22.12 Check Schedule Report: BEI Baseline Activities Count Incorrect

Hello,

I am trying to run a Check Schedule Report in P6 Professional r22.12.

The Tools | Check Schedule Report feature does not count the correct number of schedule Project Baseline Finish Dates before the 29-Feb-2024 data date.

In the below Check Schedule Report the Baseline Activities count (6) is the same as the number of Project Activities (6), as per the status date.

However, the correct number of Baseline Activities is eleven, as per the below screen shot of the P6 schedule.
