Early & late curves can be generated straight away once you have resources loaded schedule in P6.

You can find these curves ready made for you in activity usage profile window.  Right click on the graph and select At activity usage profile options. Under Bar/curves, select Remaining Early or Remaining late curve.

Cheers...

I do not use P6 but using Google found the following link that shows a way to generate the data for Excel, then with a knowledge of Excel or using an Excel template you can generate the combined curves.

The following links provides some tutorials that might be of interest and perhaps showing a different approach.

You can download their template or a modified version I just created to include early and late banana curves from the following link.

I prefer to display on the vertical axis the absolute values instead of percentages as it can create confusion when contract value changes.

Because of the way P6 stores period performance on uncompleted activities there can be discrepancies on displayed period performance if you do not make use of financial periods. The following link can provide you with an introduction on this issue.

Hope this help.

Dear All,

That can be done from the Assignment screen to copy the resorces usage and to paste in excel sheet.

Just remember you will need two sets of early and late S curves (two banana curves). One for the baseline schedule and another for the current schedule that shall not only display actual performance up to data date but also shall display projected early and late S curves after data date.

S Curves

Also remember to apply postings to financial periods if your software is not capable of display correct values without using periods, an unneeded patch in more capable software. At least P6 is better than SureTrak that was not able to display correct values and did not provided such patch. P6 requires such patch same as P3 but at least P6 allows you to edit closed periods while P3 does not. The BUG has to do with the design of the mathematical distribution of activities that span performance over two updating periods, for most people the way around using financial periods is ok.

I did one just a couple of months ago.  Note that your schedule should not have any updates yet.  Then follow Karim Maghob's recommendation.  It shoudn't be rocket science.
