Situation: 4 calendars - Office 5 8s, Field 6 10s, Construction 5 10s and Elapsed Time 24/7. How do I get PRA to properly import the durations developed in P6 8.2 by day? Finding it difficult to think in terms of hours for a 2-3 year project. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.
Multiple calendars import from .xer

All;
This is so simple, I kick myself for not seeing it (duh). All I had to do was create two new UDFs - MINh and MAXh for my Minimum and Maximum ranges. Then run a global multiplying the existing MIN and MAX by either 8, 10, or 24 depending on which calendar was used by the activity. Finally, when importing into PRA I used hours instead of days and MINh and MAXh as the range parameters at import. Worked beautifully.
So pleased with myself that I may create a short video explaining the process. I expect a couple of "You didn't know that? It is so obvious."
This is the link to the video. If there are any problems with the methodology, let me know.
