Roll-up or formula in grouping items

Nader Hi there,

Will you tell us more detail about the data you want to summerise or run some calculations upon? Primavera 5 and 6 should give you the majority of fields and data you will need to do EVA or track cost and time. What other things you want?

P6 gives you up to 8 columns for integer, text etc.

Cheers,
Shahab.

Dear Shahab;

I’m not an everyday Primavera user. My question is not case-oriented… I prefer to know if it has the ability or not.

By the way… the case is that we have a project, which is dictated to have separated financial and physical progress report, so I’m not able to use EV tools to calculate the physical progress.

Nader,

I may do not have any comments on the genral case.

That project actually sounds tricky to me! The whole idea is to chase phisical progress (actuals) against the planned progress and run the EV financial calculation. EV is not for calculating physical progress, as it does not need calculation! If you ment chasing the progress and cost diagrammes based on physical progress I am sure you can use actual progress column to enter physical progress percentages as well ;)

Hope it add sometime up!
Cheers

Well, It’s truly tricky, but it’s not my decision. One of the most strait solutions I have, is to use formula or rollup in grouping items.


Thanks Shahab.

To roll-up the numbers,assign a user defined field with ’data type’ = ’Number’ and just enter the numbers activity wise and they would roll-up to wbs level.

i hope i got your problem right???

Sorry Amit, I didn’t understand!
Would you explain me what to do?


thanks
