Hi,

 

I would like to display a column that shows which predecessor activity is the main driver. Have tried a few things but no luck.

 

Is there a way to do this?

 

Thanks very much

 

Dave

    I suggest to try the workaround using the Excel File thorugh SDK. (Activity Relationship)

    Save the Driving Activty into a UDF and import back to P6.

     

    Hope this will help.

    one way to do this is to create a code call it driver and make it a column

    filter for the last actvity in the project now trace your way back to the data date by clicking on the predecessor that is driving and select go to. When you get back to the data date do a fill down in your driver column now you can filter for this code.

     there is also a program called xertool kit (it is excel based) which works with an xer file or a p6 database where you can look at the logic and export the data to excel this will list if the activity is a driver. Then you can filter out the non-drivers make this your code and import it back into p6

    Hi there,

    I see this post if quite old, so not sure how relevant.

    I would suggset scheduling with multiple float paths and then filtering out each float path. It doesnt show the driving relationship, but it might suffice the need as to why you want to see it, I assume to display the base logic?
