Ordinal date

Hello everybody,

I am searching an answer for showing ordinal dates instead of ceartain dates but I couldn' t find a specific way. My problem is the project start date is not certain and I want to show the dates as ordinal dates, like to day 1, 2 etc instead of 25 dec, etc. 

At columns part I want to show ordinal date instead of BL project start - end.

I will appreciate if someone can help me,

Thanks & regards,

Ufuk

Ufuk,

Follow the steps below.

  • Create 3 UDFs as shown in screenshot below



    [[wysiwyg_imageupload:3208:]]
  • Create a Global Change using the the 3 UDFs created above. Remember to replace 19-Jul-99 with your project start date and apply the Global Change



    [[wysiwyg_imageupload:3209:]]
  • Add 2 columns to your schedule for Start Day & Finish Day using the UDFs user_integer_1 & user_integer_2



    [[wysiwyg_imageupload:3211:]]
  • Voila, your ordinal dates should now be visible on your schedule



    [[wysiwyg_imageupload:3212:]]

Under Global Change, you should find these fields under the "Then" section parameter. See attached screenshots.

I have tried, I checked my primavera but couldn' t see any "user_start_date1" or "user_integer1" etc. How can we create these.

Thank you,

Amro thanks for your answer, there was ordinal dates column available at previous versions but it is not available at the latest version, I guess.  I can hide the dates columns but I have to show ordinal days ...

Hi,

my suggestion to you to show in Gantt chart and just hide  colums of dates on activity table .

Because in User Preference this not available option.

 

 

Thanks
