Greetings to All.

I am making a schedule on P6 in which my project original duration appears to be very less. But whenever i check "hide if empty" in group and sort tab, It shows the project's correct original duration. Is there something wrong with my schedule ?

if its an error then how to fix it?

Thanks in advance

    This relates to the way

    This relates to the way durations are calcuated in summary bars, in particular which calendar to use to "back-calculate" the durations from the dates in the summary (which is how those durations are calculated)

    If all of the activities within a single Group-and-Sort band share the same calendar, that calendar will be used to calculate the summary bar durations, other wise the so-called "Default" calendar will be used. 

    By using "hide if empty" the number of Group-and-Sort bands will vary, and therefore the summary-duration rules will change.

    The above is true from version 6.7 onwards.
