Folks,

I would be very grateful if anyone can help me with this.

I have a P6 schedule:
(a) My data date is 7th Nov 09 07:30AM
(b) Under Reports>Report Group:Resources, I created a report profile with timescale start set to DD and date interval set to week

When I run the report, the data spread starts from 2nd November 09 as opposed to 7th Nov 09... Who has an idea why this is happening???

Thanks...

    Hi I O

    P6 is a crap peice of software anyway but try checking your project start date and then your calendars.

    Best regards

    I O - I O - its off to work we go.

    Hey Mike.. thanks for your prompt response, but correct me if you think am wrong.. I don’t think this has got anything to do with project start date or calendar.. Regardless of the calendar settings, if DD is 7th Nov 07:30AM, then it should schedule all work scopes from DD accordinlgy.... and if I run te report, i should get man hours spread from 7th Nov...

    Hi

    Try changing your interval to day. This should fix your problem, & the spread from DD (07-Nov-09 07:30am) should show correctly.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks Mark.

    it works when i change timescale to ’days’. why does it not work for ’weeks’? any clues?

    maybe because your "planning unit" is in day?

    Interval set to week means the software will allocate all work performed during the workweek to a single number per week, is a matter of report interval.

    Depending on how the software is setup to report, either using the start date of the week or the end date of the week reports will come out using this date. In some way the software got to identify the week, either by start or end day of the week, with a monthly timescale month and year would be enough no need to specify first or last day of the month.

    Maybe the week started on november 2 and therefore this is the date shown. If you select report interval to be days then it will be the specific day it started or finished as for a single day the date is the same. Software help on the screen where you selected the timescale option should give you the specifics.
