Rante,



If you are using P6 (with ’Undo’) and you only you need a quick ’what if’ scenario, you could add the ’calendar’ column (From ’General’) change the first acivity to 7 day workweek then use ’fill down’ see what your finish date is compares to the original calendar.

Then ’Undo’.



If your using P5 then make a copy which can be deleted afterwards.

Sorry I currently have no solution; just tried with a UDF.

EF-ES uses the same calendar as the activity. My idea was that it may use the base calendar.

Thank you Dieter for your reply, but what I need is to show durations(Total Durations actually)of the whole project.



You see, P3 have a standard "Orig Dur" Column, wherein the formula that it uses is generally EF-ES.



Since I am using 3 different calendar id,it does not reflect the total calendar days but working days only on the Summary.



What I need is another column which works same as that of "Orig Dur" column but uses calendar 3 only without changing anything from the logic of the schedule.



Thank you again.

I assume you want to show durations of some groups of activities. May be you’ll use a Level of Effort or Hammock for each group and assign cal no.3 to them. In your presentation or report you’ll show only these LoE - by a filter.

Regards

Dieter
