Start to Start lag calculation

Hi

In the schedule options dialog box of P6 there is a section about the calculation of start to start lag.

I know how these options work but what I don't know is that why among all types of relations, these options are only made available for the start to strat relation.

is there anything special about the start to start relation?

Resource levelling up (not down)

Normaĺly in P6 resource levelling you specify a limit for the critical resource and then P6 adjusts the schedule to avvomodate this limit (never understood on what criteria it moved activities). I was looking to do the opposite - level up. E.g. for instance we have an overall budget spread on our accepted schedule but the client has a greater budget limit in certain periods and wants to spend it as he may lose it. How can I get P6 to adjust the schedule automatically to reach these budget limits?

P6 Professional Import Excel Actual Start and Finish Dates

In P6 Professional, you can import the schedule’s actual start and Finish dates from Excel. But why must I import the Excel spreadsheet's actual start and finish dates twice before the actual start dates are read in correctly?

Let me demonstrate. The P6 Professional schedule I want to update is the below Figure 1.

P6 Professional R19.12 Importing MS Excel Resource Data

Hello,

I have a major scheduling project with a client, and I need an efficient way to input Resource data into P6 Professional. I would like to have the client provide a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet of resource data and then import this into P6 Professional.

Unfortunately, P6 Professional does not read data in the spreadsheet that has a column heading including a (*). This means it will only import the below variables.

Resource ID

Resource Name

Unit of Measure

Default Units/Time

Budgeted Units

Physical % complete of overall plan

Morning all, 

If I add the column Physical % complete, is there a reason it won't show me that percentage on the top line as it does with schedule % complete etc?  Is there a way to make it do so or is it a calculation problem that causes it?

Thanks, 

Thom
