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.

Why won't P3 calculate my activity duration?

Hello.

I'm a novice working with P3.  I have an existing project with many activities with assigned durations and logic.  I want to add a resource, specifically cubic yards of material, and assign it to the activities with a budgeted quantity of cubic yards to complete.  I want to enter a defined units/time period to calculate the activity duration.

My problem is that in the resource box, I can enter the quantity, but when I enter the units/time period, everything defaults to 0...for every activity.  Don't know why.  But, when I add a completely new activity to the schedule, all operations seem to work fine...the budgeted quantity, the units/time period and the new activity duration will calculate.

Help with understanding this is appreciated.
