P6 Global Change Question

I am trying to match "plan" dates in P6 to "start" or "actual Start" dates depending on the case using global change. For some reason "plan" dates do not change to "actual" dates despite committing to the global change.
Was wondering if someone else has encountered the same problem and what measures you to make it work.

yes here is the secification 

Where Activity status = completed

Then

Planned Start = Start

Planned Finish = Finish

****************

Where Activity status = completed

Then

Planned Start = Start

Planned Finish = Finish

Not sure if you meant "actual start" instead of "start" - Nonetheless, I carried a global change using both criteria but no luck

****************

Where Activity status = completed

Then

Planned Start = Actual Start

Planned Finish = Actual Finish

****************

Where Activity status = completed

Then

Planned Start = Start

Planned Finish = Finish

Despite running above crieteria I have couple activities, where Planned Start and finish does not match Actual Start and Finish resp.

Any help  in this regard is appreciated

if an activity has and actual start then the start date gets the A letter next to the date the same holds true for an activit yhaveing an actual finish date

So run these 2 global changes

Global change #1 for completed activities 

Where activity status equals completed 

then planned start = Start

and planned finish =Finish

 

Global change #2 for activities started but yet finished 

Where activity status equals in progress 

then planned start = Start
