How to Know the total No of activities in a layout ?

You can export the filtered activities of the layout in Excel and count it there.

Hello Ashraf,
without exporting to layout can’t this be counted in the program itself.

3 easy steps:

1. Create an activity custom data item as numeric called activity count
2. Use global change to assign 1 to this field on every activity (or use a column with fill cell)
3. Configure the column in the layouts that you want to this field and remember to group by at least one field (Project if nothing else) with a Total at Top (or bottom).

You now know the count.

Hi Franb,

Just run it to schedule now or find the icon that look like a clock then click it. or just simply run your schedule you will read the result in the report. ihope this will enlighten your question. If you are using primavera p5 you will easily count the no. of activities by adding column to it as it is incorporated in the tools.

Here is my suggestion.

Tools->Tabular Reports->Report Writer->New Report

Content -->Data Item: NACT (Number of Activities)
Total: Yes
Selection--> Your filter criteria

Run Report
That’s it

Cheers Andrew

Why not try the matrix report in P3.

tools - > tabular -> matrix -> actvities

Not only you get the number of activities, you can break
that down by category too.

Hi Planners,

When i try to run matrix report for the number of activities in my schedule, i get the error message:

invalid code specified for project code

Can anyone guide me please? Thanks.
