Friends,

I have created an activity code. Say "Location" with values L1, L2 and Other.

I have say 3 activities. Say A1, A2 and A3

I assign

Activity A1 > Location L1
Activity A2 > Location L2
Activity A3 > Location : I keep blank intentionally.

Now when I group and sort, the group ban for activity A3 showing "No Location"

How to keep this band blank as used to be in P3 by default.

Thanks, Amar.

    I think you can’t provide an Activity Name having no Activity ID --- just like in P3. Why not create a dummy ID, if you haven’t finalize the ID for this activity?

    Yeah, Normally I provide L3 code with Description "." (Single Dot) and Provide font colour and back ground colour same while grouping. However this is an extra thing to be done.

    Software has to just represent the data. Here it is exceeding the requirement!

    Sorry, I just realize you’re talking about Activity Codes.

    I guess if is really required to input a data (even if a dummy) then just utilize the copy and paste function in inputting the dummy codes.

    At least, the inputting work could be shortened or lessened.

    Regards.

    That is true Sen, Instead of ALT+e+i of P3, it is ALT+e+w to fill cells for copy and paste. If you come across any other method for this problem, please let me know. Cheers, Amar.

    Try Exporting to Excel. There you can group, filter or sort and use copy and paste.

    No doubt Excel is "excellent" and user friendly. For me, import / export is also a time consuming task. I am searching for a way in V5 itself. HTH, Amar.

    It is learnt that, No Code can not be eliminated, if code values are not given to some activities. Cheers. Amar.

    any idea if it is fixed in P6.1

    PS: it sounds trivial, but for me it is a showstopper bug
