Weird Project Finish Date

In the Open Standard

Hello Folks,

I am quite new here as a member, however I have been a pseudo member coming on and off before. I have a recent issue with my Primavera P6 V8.2 settings ( I suppose). What I have noticed is that, whenever I load up an XER file sent from a project member onto my PC, there are certain mile stones and regular activities that has the project 'finish date' changed. I always know immediately  that the dates are not the true dates especially when the xer file is a baseline schedule. However, whenever the same file is loaded on any other PC other than mine, the true real dates show up. I have varied my duration columns to troubleshoot this but still no luck. I will appreciate your help to decipher the 'date changing ghost' on my PC.

    Ok folks, just to update you

    Ok folks, just to update you on the eventual solution to my initial post as it may end up saving someone's time one day.

    All I did was to go to Admin Preferences - Earned Value

    And under the Earned Value Calculation I chose 'At completion values with current dates' 

    Followed by an F5 (refresh)  and then F9 (Schedule).

     

    And that was it. All dates became conformed and showed correctly.

     

    cheers
