P6 Histograms - Baseline Budgeted Units VS. Current Schedule Actual Units

Activity Usage Profile will give you the curves you want.

You might then need to export to excel, in order to:

have % complete on the 'y' axis

Have the data range table under the curve

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed.

Because of this project's characteristics, the baseline was saved before any resources were added, so I had to update the units and resources fields on the baseline (just these 2 fields, leaving current deviations).

Now that I'm checking the baseline units in the "Activity Usage Spreadsheet", I see that the BL budgeted units are not assigned to the time period established by the baseline nor by the current schedule. Instead, these budgeted units are assigned to a later time period that changes for different activities.

For example, in the next screenshot, all activities were executed acording to BL, so "BL Project Labor", "Budgeted Labor" and "Actual Labor" should be identical. For some reason, the "BL Project Labor" has been moved to the Data Date.
In other cases, for non-started activities, the "BL Project Labor" has been pushed later in time and, in other different cases, the units haven't been saved at all.

I've tried to schedule (F9) for a previous date than the data date to re-update the baseline units, but this doesn't fix the issue.
Also, whenever I try to re-update, scheduling in the actual data date or a previous one, I get the error VQCMC-3684-A.

Any idea why I'm getting this error or how can I update the baseline so that the budgeted units are assigned to the correct time periods?

Hello Chema,

I would suggest to check your "Planned Start" and "Planned Finish" dates.

Try to align these dates with the baseline dates on one activity and see if it solves your problem.

If so, you can use a global change to set all the activities planned dates.

Jean.
