Based on the RVP notes issued by Oracle/Primavera, Version 7.0 will enable you to do early & late curves @ the activity level without the need to export to excel.
If your company is in maintenance, it is now available to download via the Oracle website: edelivery.oracle.com
We will be switching across in the next couple of weeks & Im looking forward to comparing its functionality to the old V6.2.1.
Failing that...
The very best way is via an application like crystal reports, etc...
Alternatively, the next best way to create the S-curve is still by a time distributed report that is saved as a csv file, though I must admit that getting a late spread of hrs or costs at the activity level requires a bit of a work around (I usually set my primary baseline to its late dates & gather my early dates from the project baseline).
Another way is to run a report at the resource assignment level, and just group via the activity name (Activity Id doesnt show up 4 some weird reason). That way you can get the remaining early & late date, but unfortunatly you cant get the EV at the resource assignemnt level.
Thankyou for that reply Alexandre, however, I would like to know the easiest way to create an S Curve (with the data from P5/6)in Excel. As your aware I need to be able to get the early, late and planned dates from P5/6 in to a table and then create the curve. Is there an easier way than creating a report to generate the dates I need?

Dear Mark,
Can you please explain the steps involve in making the S curve thru the Crystal Report.
Thanks in advance.

Craig,
I dont think so; export data from a report certainly is the best way.

Craig,
the easiest way in PM5/6 is to display the resource profile view full screen, then select the appropriate data in the option dialog
