Mr Rafael,

In almost my projects, I've used Norm (hours per 1 unit) more than using Productivity (units per 1 hour). Norm and Productivity are same essence, just an inverse of each other. So, how can I get it in SP. I tried formula in "new field", but still couldn't find Productivity field in it.

Thanks & Best Regards,

    Tuan, if I understand

    Tuan, 

    if I understand correctly you want a formula + user field (for norm) in order to transform norms into productivity?

    If so here is how you can do it:

    • The productivity column is located under Assignment fields.
    • The RoundTo ( Value, Number of Decimals) is optional, to me it makes more scense to have a value for productivity rounded at two or three decimals rather than 8 or 9.
    • Hope this helps.

    Thanks Mr Bogdan,I got it!One

    Thanks Mr Bogdan,

    I got it!

    One more question: each formula we need to click the button "Execute" before it done. Can I do it automaticly, it means when I input values for Norm column, the Productivity column shall be calculated automaticaly. Sorry, I'm just a newbie user of SP.

    Thanks & Best Regards

    You cannot set any column to

    You cannot set any column to calculate while you input data.

    All calculation will be done after all the data has been introduced by the user.

    You could create a script which will execute the formula (transform all norms into productivity) and then perform a simple CPM calculation o Resource Constrained Calculation.

    To set up a script into the project go to Edit->Script->Create and copy paste the following:

    Simple CPM calculation script:

    PROJTABAPPLYFORMULA (Nrm->Prod, GANTTOPER); -applies the norm to productivity formula, in Activity Gantt table
    PROJCALCSCHED (); -perform a simple CPM calculation(scheduling) based on options you already defined
    PROJCALCCOST (); -calculates project cost and material consumption/revenue based on options you already defined

    With constraints the script is the following

    PROJTABAPPLYFORMULA (Nrm->Prod, GANTTOPER); -applies the norm to productivity formula, in Activity Gantt table
    PROJCALCSCHEDRES (); -performs resource constraine sheduling based on options you already defined
    PROJCALCCOST (); -calculates project cost and material consumption/revenue based on options you already defined

    Best Regards,

    Bogdan

    It can only do if Mr Vladimir

    It can only do if Mr Vladimir add it to the next release of SP (hehe), make it as a default field like Productivity field...until now it just takes me 4 seconds for executing the formular, or 1 second if run a favorite Script. Formular in SP reminise me about the feature "Global Change" in P6, but "Script" is a really difference.

    Thanks alot,
