(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.

I am Comparing Initial Stage Baseline Schedule (Baseline 1) with Management Sign off baseline (Baseline 2) in Primavera.

Can anyone advise me how to show Baseline 2 Duration column in primavera.

Antony,

Have you tried to add a BL2 Duration UDF of data type Number or Integer and then apply a Global Change (BL2 Finish - BL2 Start) to calculate your BL2 Duration?

Downside of this workaround is that your WBS BL2 Duration will be wrong since UDF of Number/Integer types are summed.

P6 can't show BL2 Durations, only BL1.

 

Project Baseline is the baseline project that all users see when they open the project. BL1 and BL2 are specific to each user and the fields that P6 calculates for BL1 and BL2 is not as extensive as for Project Baseline.
