After having used P3 for all these years and now planning in P6 is proving a nightmare . My First impression is it is not all user friendly . I may be wrong but it seems many user friendly options in P3 are not available in P6.
Any way guys appreciate if you can solve my problem. I have prepared a resource loaded schedule in P6 and clicked on resource usage icon . I was surprised to see figures in resource usage column long even after my project has ended.
For eg as per my program labours will be used between april 2012 and dec 2013 and project completion date is Feb 2014. Imagine my state when i found that 1) Figures for labour usage are being shown even for dec 2021 and is still continuing , and 2) Heading is being shown for another project so i am not sure whether the figure truely represents my opened project.
Please enlighten on this.
Thanks,
with regards,

vinod,
check if the item having a continuing value in resource usage spreadsheet is cumulative (eq. cumulative labor units..etc).
cumulative values in p6 resource usage spreadsheet are displayed continuously, but value is not inceasing after the planned project finish.
just check, this maybe the case.
