Generate S-Curve & MPL

Hi

Q1 : How do I extract data from P3 (or let P3 generate) to create S-Curve.?

Try: Tools / Tabular Reports / Resource / Loading

You will need to set up the P3 window options with your resources / selection etc. Once run it will generate a stread sheet format that you can make into S’Curve / Histogram etc, and save as excel format etc

Or try: Tools / Tabular Reports / Resource / Tabular

This will give you a hard copy of data, that you will need to key into a Curve etc.


Q3 - Paste in Excel & gnerate S-Curve (progress %) as Excel Chart.

Yes - see above - just add calculations to the excel spread sheet.

Q2 : Can P3 do it per WBS/Activity Codes or discipline etc.?

Yes, its all done when you set up the P3 windows, its a bit messy first time, but try using the P3 Help option if you get stuck.

Q3 : How do I generate Manpower Loading (unlevel) in P3.

Use the above, the info generated is in Man hours so just set up your excel spread sheet with a simple calculation.

Just 2 points as well:

1. You can view the S-Curve in Layout as well (View - Layout)

2. Remember to you save period actuals

Then you S-Curve will have a more accurate result in Earned Value and Actual.

This concept is differ from MSP

Hi

To view in Layout you will need to go into "Page Setup" and tick the box "Resource/Cost Dispay".

The layout will display the Histogramme / Curve at the bottom of the schedule. It is verry effective for a high level plan especially if displayed on a single sheet.

To get the data as you require you need to use the "select" and "dispay" buttons, can be a bit of a problem when first setting up.

I would like to extract percentage completion distributed by time-period from Primavera. Can anybody help me?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi

Try the method suggested by us. That will give you a good S-Curve facility, especailly in Layout View.

Hi

If you check out and follow reply of the 07-Sept..

You should then be able to export the data from P3 in an Excel format.

The data will be by manhours by time period (i.e. how you have specified - weekly/monthly etc).

You then need to add rows etc and set up the standard calculations for working out percentage complete etc.
