Hi jaya,



You made mention you have already allocated resoucres and cost to your schedule. to find s- curve more easy in tracking your progress, all you have to do firstly is to create a baseline to compare it to your current schedule which is data date. then in primavera p3 in tool menu,graphic, click resource & cost .if you want to see the overall cost or resource curve you may just type the command string as ?????? to the selection. However in Primavera P5 you may treat it in a dirrent way but basically homologous in nature. just go to Click menu Project, Tracking layout, resource usage then activity profile option, and set up your printing preferences to view your s-curve.

Thanks Ashraf for your valuable tip.

Infact, I also encountered the same problem as Parnab. But, then I changed the syntax with ADD and it worked fine.

Cheers

Define the following Global Change.





1. Add Resource

If OD > 0 the Resourse = R



2. Modify Resurce



If OD > 0 then RDUR = OD





First run 1 and then run 2.



Regards,



Ashraf

In MSP, to find the same..I will auto update the project keeping the data date as project end date considering all the activities are happened as well as planned..



After this, I can take the S - curve / Monthly progress happened from the Reports and will plot the S-Curve...But any option, like that wud available in P3

S curve for what? Usually you will use it for resource (number or cost), or cost. If you don’t have those parameters in the programme and you still wish to see S curve, you need to think of something - and original duration as suggested by Ashraf is a very good idea. Just think of Original duration as a resource.



You can make an even simpler S curve. If you give your activty 1 point for starting and 1 point for finishing, you have two points each planned for every activity. In a number of occasions, even such an S curve comes as a very good project control tool. Now to get this curve in P3, you, of course need to create a resource S. You can then globally assign 2 units of it to all the activities.

Jaya,



Define a resource named R.



Run Global change and add R to all activities.



Then run a global change Resource R = OD.



You can now get the desired S-Curves which will be based on OD.



Regards,



Ashraf
