Hi all I am seeing more and more people wanting a line of balance set up as a spreadsheet, with each plot (housing project) down the left side and each activity along the top with the duration of each task identified, and then in each meeting cell a date of when the activity is to start. If the activity starts on time it goes green and if it starts late it goes red. Is there anyway of running a report from Asta to avoid having to manually transfer the info to excel? Thanks in advance

    Hi DeanYes it is reletively

    Hi Dean

    Yes it is reletively simple to set up a line of balance view straight from the bar chart.

    It works as a time - distance chart similar to Tilos.

    It works on the Bar reference and the Task reference for each plot number.

    Place each task on the same linear Plot Number bar and label accordingly.

    This is all explained in the tutorial section.

    You will find it very useful for linear projects.

    One tip - Once you have set up a typical plot number copy and paste for all of them and then use the cross plot link system to set up all the links in one tap.

    Best regards

    Hi Dean,I do not understand

    Hi Dean,

    I do not understand your requirement.

    Line of Balance means that the diagram shows what activity shall be done at what place and at what time.

    You wrote about a housing project and suggest to show at the left (Y axis) the houses and time scale as X axis. Do I understand you right? It looks like the Gantt Chart and not Time-Location.

    Please clarify.

    Best Regards,

    Vladimir
