Calender - To have a print out of the working days for a calender

I have often been requested for the contract calender we are using on the project  showing the working days based on the contract, taking out non working days, public holidays, festivals, etc etc. Back in P3 days we could have a calender which showed the working days but this did not come with the P6 (now version 7.). I  now have to rely on excel to come to the rescue but has anyone got any where with Oracle of putting this feature back into the new versions. Has anyone got another solution? Reports?

Thank you guys,

 

P3 .. cumbersome way to get a print out.. bbuy yes works but P3 only works in a 32bit computer.. but yes I have doen it that wat.

 

Th Powerproject ,, yes it works but Power Project as I can see only goes to week numbers is that correct pauL?

 

MSP ,, tried that but cannot get it in the Calender view to show working day numbers, ??

Export to P3 and print from there , Or

You could import into Asta PowerProject and use the print calendar function (which is missing from P6).

Mike,

Interesting solution, i can export a calender view but only a month at a time or could get a claender with spreadsheet view  with ordinal days but it will not printout with a non working days. The first image is what is required in excel and what you can get viw P6 calender and and spreadsheet view. I would like to see your slotion if you would to email?

Hi Tim

If you are talking about the calendar view on the screen you can always capture ii using Print Screen and then paste to Word for editing.

In PowerPoint there is a text report generator that will do this for you in excell.

Best regards
