Edit Columns in P6

Hi All,

Can someone please help me?

I am trying to create a column titled Finish Variance CL14 and Finish Variance Last Period. I have successfully created these but don't know how to edit it or enter the formula to show me the variance/difference in the columns field.

Currently the fields are empty when I add the columns.

Please help!

Regards,

Patrick

Filter: Recently changed against baseline (BL1)

V
Vic Noztua 👤 Member for 12 years 9 months

Please need assistance in filtering baseline against my recent changes or vise versa:

If I want to filter out which activities has been recently changed or date moved against my latest BL just for double checking, which parameter/s I should use in my filter? The purpose is to know if there are some unwanted changes or moved dates not accordingly. 

Thanks!
