Overriding Duration field

Posted Mon, 2013-09-30 11:07 by Paul C

This problem is basic so I can't help but think I'm missing something really obvious.

When I open a new Powerproject docuement, after I enter a start date for each task, the duration sets itself at a default of 1 week and then populates the finish date accordingly. If I attempt to manually enter a different Finish date  Powerproject adjusts the Start date to ensure the duration remains constant at one week. How can I adjust the settings to allow me to populate the Start and Finish dates myself, with the duration then calulated based on my input?

Earned Value

Posted Mon, 2013-09-16 15:25 by Christine P

Hi all

I've been asked to put amounts of money against various activities so the QSs can do earned Value Analysis.  At first I just used a user defined column and dropped them in like that, but the commercial manager wants me to put them in properly so that they can work out money each month.  Like say there is £10,000 against a 5 week activity, and it is from the last 2 weeks in May and the first three weeks in September, then its £4,000 for May and £6,000 for September.  There is no one around to help me and its quite urgent.

Histogram Problems when trying to show works done on the weekends?

Posted Wed, 2013-09-04 12:33 by Nathan Wharton

I am trying to show a histogram at the bottom of the bar chart, to show the amount of concrete that we will be pouring on site each day.  However the bar chart calendar is a mixture of 5 day, 6 day and 7 day working.  The histogram does not show the pours or works that are to be carried out on saturdays and sundays and I cant seem to make this work?  I have changed the calendar in histogram report properties to 7 day calendar and it doesnt seem to change anything.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

How to turn off annual weekly numbers

Posted Fri, 2013-08-30 11:15 by Nathan Wharton

I am trying to add week numbers to the top of the programme in the date zone. I can do this this after week 52 it goes back to week 1, but I would like the week numbers to carry on as the project I am working on is over 2 years and would like the week numbers to continue.

Does anyone have any ideas how to do this, as I know it can be done, but just cant find the right option?

Thanks

Critical Path Drag in PowerProject

Posted Sun, 2013-05-05 15:00 by Mike Testro

Hi Asta Management

In a recent discussion Stephen Devaux wrote this sentence:

I know you are very active with Asta, and in light of your remark above, I feel I must ask: if Asta wants to incorporate modern technology and metrics, why doesn't it include something as fundamental to CPM as critical path drag computation? Vladimir programmed Spider to do it four years ago.

Formula For Duration Between Tasks Based On Code Library Allocation

Posted Mon, 2013-04-22 09:37 by Chris Lothian

Hi All,

Following my last post (http://www.planningplanet.com/forums/asta-powerproject/537680/using-formula-answer-another-formula). I’ve realised I need help with the actual formula;

I have a programme with multiple tasks per line / bar, with each task on a line having a different code library allocation. The bars are set so that tasks may overlap.
