Hi All,
Can anybody tell me what columns I should show when using EV in P6
Do i use planned cost or cum planned value cost?
I did think they was the same thing! But when exporting this data into an excel s curve chart my cum planned value is almost double of what my planned value is in my project in the month of October.
Anybody??
Cheers John
Thanks Alexandra, you have been a great help!!
John,
Cumulative planned cost sums up the by period cost: by the end of week #2, cum cost equals week #1 + week #2 cost, and so on
Planned cost displays the value by period
it is therefore much better to export cost than cumulative cost; Excel will draw the S curve chart by agregating the individual values, on the contrary, if you want to produce a vertical bar chart in Excel, export the cumulative cost, as a bar chart is not cumulative by itself
