How to Put Target 1 & Target 2 in P6 Just like in P3

Is the Schedule % Complete equal to Planned % Comp in P3?

In P3 to get the Planned % Comp, I usually press CNTL F9, DATA DATE same as in the update.



In P3, when you assign target 1 and target 2, the column description will show, say, target 1 early start, target 2 early start, etc. In P6, I assign primary, secondary, but I cannot distinguish which is which



To put in in tabular form :



P3 vs P6

Update File Update File

Target 1 BL or BL1 or primary?

Target 2 BL1 or BL2 or secondary?

% Comp(For Update File) Activity % Comp?

% Comp (For Target 2) Schedule % Comp?

Target 1 Early Start BL Project Start?

Target 2 Early Start BL 1 Early Start?



To get Planned % Comp?



In P3-CNTRL F9 + CURRENT DATA DATE,



In P6 ?



Thanks again

Hi Florante,



Arnold is right.



Assuming that you’ve already assigned a baseline on your programme, this is the simple steps to display them:



1) Click View then Columns



2) Expand Dates option, then select to display the following:

- BL Project Start

- BL Project Finish

- Start

- Finish



3) Expand Percent Complete, then select to display the following:

- Schedule % Complete

- Activity % Complete



4) For Variance Analysis (Finish Dates / Duration), expand Duration, then select to display the following:

- Variance - BL Project Finish Date



5) Create a UDF and do Global Change for Variance % Complete



Best regards,

Go To Project -> Maintain Baseline for adding all baselines



and then Go To Project -> Assign Baseline to add, User, Primary, Secondary or tertiary baselines.

Hi Florante,



With P6, you don’t need to create a Target 2 schedule because, there is already available Schedule % Complete, when you assign a Target 1 schedule.



Regards,



Arnold
