Average Float figure for the project

what do you mean by ’average activity float’?

I am a new member and just trying to help, maybe this is not the right answer. But I would suggest doing a filter with a range of the float that you want. you probably have to figure out the average float yourself.

All,

Average float to me means adding up the total float for all activties and then dividing by the no. of activities. This is then calculated on a weekly basis and inthe weekly project report this number is used as one of many indicators on the project progress. As the average float number decreases this would show the project is becoming more critical (the norm!) ; if the average float figure increases (never seen this!) this will show that progress is good and probably ahead of schedule.

Keep Planning,

Kevin.

Once upon a time, back in the days of manual forward/backward pass when ships were built on the River Clyde, the "Float Trend" chart was a big document.

We kept track of the change of float each week on some activities. All activities would have been nice, but computers were precious commodities in those days and not freely avaialble for imagineering.

If you copied the Total and or Free float to a user defined field after each progress run you have a value for float that rolls up, an indication of each activity’s change AND "Group and Sort" would also give you interesting sub-totals

Thanks David, I’ll try your method.

Keep Planning,

Kevin.
