Float Path in Group and sort

Note if you want to use the Float Path, at least on ver 16.1 or older you have to go to Tools, Schedule, Options, Advanced, - the check the box that says Calculate Float Paths, then you have to put a number - I do not understand why it asked, so I just put some random number like 300.  When asked to analyze a schedule - Float Paths is the first thing I do.  Schedules are generally by WBS - you can't follow them, the Float path shows you the sequences straight through- most important down (common sense will over-ride some).

If your schedule had a multiple path, the best way of checking the driving activity is to use the float path. The P6 r21 had a new tool bar that calculate float path or driving predecessor and successor activity called Activity Critical Path tool bar.
