All,
I’m not sure if this topic had been discussed in this forum. Anyway, I need help.
The variance values between the baseline program and the current updated program seems odd to me. The current program is behind the baseline program however, when I displayed the Variance – BL Project Finish column, the activity which is behind the baseline shows a positive variance. Whereas, when I looked at the rolled up value in the WBS level, the variance is showing a negative value which is correct I supposed. Here are the details:
WBS Level / Activity Level
BL Project Start: 26Jun08 / 26Jun08
BL Project Finish: 24Aug08 / 01Jul08
Start (Current): 08Sep08A / 08Sep08A
Finish (Current): 06Jan09A / 11Oct08A
Variance BL Project
Finish: -109 days / 84 days
Obviously, my question is why the variance in the activity shows positive instead of negative? Did I miss any of the setup?
Regards,
Louie

Oldest first- 0Louie Corbeta ·Thanks guys for your replies..
At last!! I am enlightened....so, this is one of the bugs in P6. I even tried the sample files from P6 but the results are still the same. Really weird.
By the way, I’m still using the old version of P6.0 that’s why this is coming out. I really need to get a hand on that Fix Pack 1 to resolve this problem. Thanks again guys.
Regards,
Louie
