Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hello, 

 

I have 2 programmes 

 

1) Client Programme - Later completion date 

2) Internal Programme - Earlier completion date 

 

99% of ACTIVITY IDs are the same between the 2 programmes. 

Is there a way to copy the progress such as from one programme to another?

I always update the Client Programme first and it will take me hours to do the progress updates. Is there a way i can transfer the progress to the Internal Programme. I am not sure how, i think maybe open the 2 programme then using global change but not sure what settings should i use. Or use excel to transfer progress? Again, not sure how do i do that 

 

Many thanks

Mike

1. thats becasue a TRUE baseline does not have progress or actual start and finish dates NO PROGRESS.

2. I am not sure why you are not using the method that I suggedted

3. Export the newer progress schedule to excel then import this into the lesser progress schedule. You wil have to change the first few characters of the wbs column in excel to match the project ID of the lesser progress scheduel prior to importing it. 

i.e. Project ID of exported greater progress schedule is called CARSUPDATE5

i.e. Project ID of less progress schedule is called CARSUPDATE3

in the excel file change the wbs column to CARSUPDATE3

Hi Zoltan, 

 

Thank you for the reply. 

 

I am working on a test, created

Is there a way i can use Global Change to reflect the progress to Baseline? 

 

Please see below, 

 

I want to create

Actual Start = Baseline Actual Start (Doesnt really work even after i use the global change) 

Actual Finish = Baseline Actual Finish (Doesnt really work even after i use the global change) 

Duration % Complete = BL Duration % Complete (cannot find this option)

Physical % Complete = BL Physical % Complete (cannot find this option)

 

Do you think there is a way to use the global change? If not, then maybe i have to work on the hard way, type in the progress manually... 

 

Many thanks

Mike

assign the one with less progress as baseline then select maintain baselines and on the rigth select Update

now you can choose what you want updated on the project with the less progress

after you are done unassign the basline and select restore
