Progress Variance Vs Finish Date

F
Fahad Ali 👤 Member for 9 years 7 months

Hi

My percent complete type is duration. I had a baseline that had actual dates and now program mitigated and revised. So my previously updated program is now a baseline for current update. Problem that I am facing here is, my activity progress variance is not matching with Finish date.

 

For example: actual progress is 80% and planned is 90%. remaining baseline duartion was 35 and remaining duration now is 11 which is not matching my actual progress of 80%. As per my actual percentage, remaining duration should be 7(20%*35). It is P6 version 8.2. Please advice.

External Links in p6 Schedule need removing - inter project links

So i have opened my schedule today in p6 and relised someone else has copy parts of my project into their's as they needed the same type of activities in there schedule.

 

However when they have copied and pasted the WBS it they seem to have had the Only between copied activiies un checked (in the copy activity options) and thus i now have hundreds of inter project links as it is maintaining those links from my schedule.

 

How can i quickly removed these as there are hundreds
