How to display Multiple Critical path in Primavera P6

In Primavera, when we filter critical path, it only show 1 critical path. In complicated project, we might need to show some more “near critical” path.

I will show you how to do it.

We have a simple project like this:

Click on “Advanced” tab, Check “Calculate multiple float paths”.

In “Display multiple float paths ending with activity”, select the last activity.

Choose number of paths you want to display. For example : 2 path.
