I have filtered WBS activities through a code. Now I want to add a WBS Activity to produce a activity bar for the duration of the 'Grouped by code' WBS activities.The problem is the WBS summary only follows the existing WBS it is attached, inorder to calculate the code, it only shows the duration of the WBS it is connected to even though it is visible in the Grouped list. I am not able to change that. How to solve this. I just want an activity that shows the overall length of all the 'Grouped by code' WBS activities. Suggestions Please.

Hi Mustafa
to create an activity out of this layout seems impossible - at least I don't know a way.
But: WBS is a hierarchical structure. Isn't there a way to get a WBS-Summary by moving around the strcture a little bit.
If your boss or the customer need another view with the name WBS, you can create a code with this name in addition and create the needed layouts.
Good luck!

Hi Dieter
Thank you for your reply, what I meant was, I already have filtered and coded WBS summary layout which shows all the WBS summaries. I wante dto create 1 new summary that summarizes these filtered summaries. Unfortunately this is not possible as said the summary is related to a WBS and follows the duration of the same.
Any ideas how I can have one activity that can summarize the already filtered layout of a group of summaries.
Kind Regards
Mustafa
Hi Mustafa
You are right: Activities of the type WBS-Summary are only related to an activity. You can add relationships, but they are not considered by P6. But if you'll group by a certain code you can see many values in the headline. If you only want to see it for WBS, use a filter. Hope this helps.
