Microsoft Excel - Project C/B Analysis

If you want to compare projects you better take a look at Primavera Enterprise. Than you can make your comparisons without making export files etc.

Primavera Enterprise is best one to compare the schedule , cost loading, %completion etc.

Primavera Enterprise is best one to compare the schedule , cost loading, %completion etc for multi projects.

Sorry, I don’t know how to use P3e to compare project values (NPV, IRR, etc., taking into consideration discount rates, etc.). Maybe you can explain why you consider P3e as the best. The best if to compare with what?
I think that you can write that P3e is better than something else and describe why do you think so. But stating that P3e is the best means that you know all that is not true.

Dear John,

If You want to compare project with aspect of cost and benefits You must to use NPV/IRR methods (If we agree thar c/b it is only outflows/inflows of course). Simplest but labour consuming is export of selected data from MSP to Excel (it is easy in this MS Suite) and multiply values with discounting factors (you can simlpy calculate NPV in this form). But I have other, more professional concept!

You can use Pertmaster. This system is comaptible with Primavera and MS Project so You are able to read all project data in Pertmaster. This system has NPV/IRR analysis features. Other option is MC simulation so You can calculate propability of NPV/IRR levels! Tt is probabbly the best solution for You, specially that You can to model other aspects with using of hierarchical/generic resources.

Good Luck

P.S. Today Pertmaster have greater price than earlier :-( BUT You can buy only Viewer with calculation capabilities (for test) for small price. [Copyright infringement offer deleted by Moderator.} All the best for construction engineers and managers in USA :-)
