Filtering of activities in P6

I do not use P6 but the following set of conditions can be a way:

• Condition 1: activities starting within the date range.
• Condition 2: activities finishing within the date range.
• Condition 3: activities starting before the date range and finishing after the date range.
• Condition 4: activities starting and finishing within the date range,

Learn to use the operators, any activity that complies with Condition 1 OR Condtition 2 OR Condition 3 OR Condition 4 will make it.

Best regards,

Rafael

Rafael's reply is the answer to any filter lookahead date problem

for your situation, condition 3

Filter specs should be:

All of the following

Start is less than or equals 01-Aug-12

Finish is greater than or equals 31-Aug-12

This is how the Filter Coniditions given by Rafael would be in P6 and it works !!!

Hi rafael,

i want to filter the activities as condition 4 like you mentioned above. i did by puting start date greater than or equal to august 1 and finish date less than or equal to august 30. but its not showing all the activities. it is showing only finished activities. i need all activities within the range

best regards

Learn to use the operators, any activity that complies with Condition 1 OR Condition 2 OR Condition 3 OR Condition 4 will make it.

==>> Do not use AND operator.

BTW as long ago I stopped using Primavera each day it passes it becomes more difficult to understand it.

I dont know what your data date is but here is a solution

solution #1

filter 

where

Paramenter       is                                   value                high value

start               is within the range of        aug 1, 2012       aug 31, 2012

or

Finish                is within the range of        aug 1, 2012       aug 31, 2012

or 

activity status              equals                     inprogress

How to filter the activities of a particular month, which neither starts nor ends in that particular month, but will be in progress stage during that month?

How in progress filter will find out if will be in progress a few months after Baseline DD?

In progress between Aug. 1, 2012  -  Aug. 31, 2012?

I am not a P6 user any longer but maybe the above can be specified, in such case it should be enough to make the filter.

I posted the p6 answer

It doesn't matter much, but a slightly quicker way to filter for a particular period is;

Where Start is less than 31-Aug-12

And Finish is Greater than 01-Aug-12

Robert, your solution is very good, as we say at home very much better!

BTW as far as I can recall MSP have such filter pre-defined under the name of Date Range Filter.

You have to at lest tell me what month you are looking to pass through ?

I think you are looking for 

activity status  equals in-progress

this will list any activities that have started but are not yet done.

I am looking to pass through January when it will be planned to be in progress.

filter

ANY where

start is within the range (low value) 8/1/201 and 8/31/2012 (high value)

or finish is within the range (low value) 8/1/201 and 8/31/2012 (high value)

Meurig

if you only want to find passing thru Jan 2020 then

filter 

all

where Start is less than Jan 1 2020

and 

finish is greater than Jan 31, 2020

also if you want activities that happen during Jan 2020 you will need to use 2 filters 

use the 1st one I listed and add a 2nd filter

any 

where start within the range Jan 1 2010 (low value) and Jan 31  2020 (high value)

or where where finish within the range Jan 1 2010 (low value) and Jan 31  2020 (high value) 

Thanks for you help Zoltan. Your solution works perfectly.
