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.

basically I am trying to scale the numbers ( Men available) on the left hand side of the chart.  The scale is causing some confusion in the office and seeing as I am new to P6 I am looking for some help.  My boss would like to cap off the scale at 30 "manhours". Is this possible ? I am guessing it is just an easy fix I am missing. Thank you this is a great forum from what I have seen .

Good morning,

may be this is the response :

 

In activity usage profile

Show usage for selected activities (not for all activities)

That also didnt work. What I am really trying to do is manualy alter the y axis numeric values. I want the graph to top out at 30 instead of 68. 

Is this even possible?

I do not use P6 nor have it but believe horizontal/timescale you can adjust while the vertical is adjusted by the software using your histogram height and maximum versus minimum values.

If this is so probably the maximum values do happen at a different time not being shown.

Suggest trying to set the histogram to display only the selected values (manpower) for selected activities, for those occurring only at the time span of interest.

Best regards,

Rafael

Unfortunatley, this does not answer my question. I am looking to cap the total scale at 30 but it is showing up to 63+ due to a previous weeks high budgeted manhours . 

Thank you for the help.

Good morning,

I hope I understand your question :

 

you go in the top of the graph ,"in display..."  ,you right click and then choice options ,then in data change the scale by "unit"

I hope it's true and helpful
