Formula Help - Omit summary tasks from formula?

Hello,

 

The below formula will give a red cross at a task which have an actual%complete less than the planned%complete, and a tick in other cases.

 

switch(PlannedPercentComplete(CB,na)>PercentComplete,high,PlannedPercentComplete(CB,na)<=PercentComplete,low)

 

Has anyone any idea what I could add to this formula to stop summary tasks from recieving this cross/tick?

 

Thanks.

Importing revised baseline w/ additional tasks into progress report.

Hello,

I'm currently having an issue with Asta which I'm struggling to resolve due to the lack of many other people in my company that use this software at present.  Let me try and paint as clear a picture as possible:

I have a progress report which I am recording weekly against Baseline Rev 1 in the view named "Progress".

In my view named "Bar Chart" the progress entry/bar splitting etc is showing, so I decided not to revise up to Rev 2 here as I require my newly revised baseline to be Baseline Rev 1 + Revised Dates + a few additional tasks.

Critical path drag coming soon to Asta Powerproject

I've just seen the draft of the release notes on our next release of Asta Powerproject (version 14.0.02, due out in October).  It includes this paragraph:

 

Calculate the drag of critical tasks when rescheduling

You can now calculate the drag of critical tasks when rescheduling. Critical path drag (Devaux's Removed Activity Gauge) can be thought of as:

Baseline Finish Date on Bar Chart

Hello Fellow Planners,

 

I created a contract baseline at the initiation of my project and i have progressed the project since then so activity bars have obviously shifted fowards and backwards. I want to display my baseline finish dates on the chart next to each activity to make it easier for my client to see where each tasks SHOULD have been finishing. But for some reason Asta is not allowing me to.

Progress marking

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with progress marking.

I established a programme. Some of the bars are flying a year back when I input progress information onto associated activity.

I check the links and restraint flags. everything seems normal.

I hope someone help me with this.

thank you in advance.

Change start time and finish time (hours and minutes)

Hi All.

My query to end this week is the most difficult to resolve. I have  figured out the issue but failed to fix it.

My program is based on weeks and days, however when viewing the time (hours and minutes) format. My project start and finish links are inconsistent with time. I realised this when my durations didn't add up.

For eg. Ideally a 3 day duration- Start Monday, finish Wed evening. However my programme, 3 day duration. starts Monday, finishes midday Thursday.

Is there a way of entering progress to a historic progress period?

Hi,

I am trying to enter progress for a project where I need to adjust percentages in a progress period which goes back in time.

There are more progress periods after this.

I have two columns, one is Actual % complete and the other is Planned % complete.

However when I select one of the progress periods the Planned % complete changes but the Actual % complete stays the same as the progress entered in the latest progress period.

How do I overcome this?

Filter Appearance with heirarchy appearance

Hi Guys,

I have created a few filters and coloured my wbs structure using the heirarchy appearance.

However, when I apply a filter, my heirachy appearance structure doesn't follow through with the filter. Rather it becomes a spreadsheet list of what my filter has found without the colour.

Any idea on how i can set this up on filters?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Farhad

Column drop down list for codes

    Hi All This is my first post! I am fairly new to ASTA and have come across a few interesting things that P6 doesn't have! When adding a coded column, how would i add a drop down list to the fields? Rather than having to drag from the code library from the left hand side to the Gants chart bars. Hope the above query is clear. Thank you for your help in advance guys!
