P6 Filtering on Activities View by Resource?

Good afternoon all,

I'm trying to pull together an engineering specfic layout with EV info and have hit a stumbling block with filtering.

What I am trying to do is only show activities with a certain set of resources assigned, plus filter to only show the hours for these resources. e.g. a management activity with 50 hrs for lead eng and 50 hrs for planner, filtered would only show the 50 hrs for lead eng. Is this filter possible?

Issue with upgrade

J
Joe Jo 👤 Member for 9 years 8 months

Dear All,I encountered this issue while trying to upgrade from P6 to P8.2 on system 1 using the same software I installed successfully on system 2, even though I had purged the former of all files relating to primavera.[[wysiwyg_imageupload::]] Not sure if anyone has faced the same or could probably propose a likely workable solution. Thanks.

Exporting Budgeted Curves from P6

Hi All, I hope someone would be able to help me out ASAP!! :)

 

I fished building this Schedule and now that its time to export the curves into excel i'm having difficulties.

 

Keep in mind that aproximately 50% of this plan is critical and the complete plan is purely logic driven. Analising the logic one would say that the logic is sound and there aren't any problems. Also the Budgeted curve and early finish curve are literally identical. No actuals...

Show Longest Path with Positive Float

Hello,

In a schedule where all task-dependent activities have positive float, is there a way to show the longest path with that positive float?

 

For instance, a project is awarded 01-Jan-17 and the contract completes 01-Jan-18.

The 'Contract Complete' schedule activity in the schedule needs to show the fact it completes on 01-Jan-18.
