Global Change in P6

Malik,

Global Change is not very different in P6 than in P3:

"if resource = 0Cost

then Cost = Budgeted Cost"

The "if" statement goes into the topmost panel, the "then" statement goes into the second panel, the bottommost panel stays empty

Dear Alex

Thanks for your reply but my problem is that, when i select subject area as "Activities" I can't find Budget Cost in "Then" and when i select subject area as "Activity Resource Assignment" I can't find user defined "Cost" in drop down list of "Then-Middle table of global change".

I need the global change as

IF res = 0Cost

then

Budget cost = COST

where Cost is user difined column filled with numbers

Thanks in advance

Malik,

I am working with P6V7

My global change works well:

1. Selected Subject Area: Activity Resource Assignments

2. If statement: Resource ID Name = name of your resource

3. Then statement: Budgeted Cost = name of your cost user field

No problem at all

Alexandre

Malik,

Make sure you created the UDF under the Categories you wish to. Either in Activities or Activities Resource Assignment.

Regards,

Alexandre I think you have missed his issue, it is my understanding that if he has "Activity Resource Assignment" as the subject area the way you suggested it working here:

1. Selected Subject Area: Activity Resource Assignments

2. If statement: Resource ID Name = name of your resource

3. Then statement: Budgeted Cost = name of your cost user field ""

Does not work due to the fact he is unbale to select his UDF in the then statement.

Could you not just filter the activities with the resource ID "0Cost" and then apply the global change to the filtered activities only?

There is also probably a work around using mulitple global changes.

Probably no help at all, I would like to know how to do it best as well.

Hello,

Raymond is right: I have missed one important item in my explanations, the UDF has to be created under "Activty Resource Assignments"

Sorry for that mistake,

Alexandre

Dear Raymund de Laza

My issue is that user defined column has been imported from P3 and is being treated as Activity not Resource by P6. Is there a way to change it globally would solve the whole issue.

Dear Thomas Myers

Any help with multiple global changes or work around would be appreciated.

Imran

Malik,

No way in using the Global Change.

I suggest using the Excel File through SDK.

Copy the Budget Cost from the Activity window in P6 and paste it with the Budget Cost in the Resource assignment in Excel File then import into P6.

Hope this will solve the Problem.
