Does MS Project have possibility to draw S curve automatically?

Posted: 26 Jul 2005 04:34 AM PDT

Thank you it really helped. I have visited your site and marked it in
favourites to come back.
I am working in small company, after rather big experience on big projects
in big company. Now I miss data base for unit productivities (in construction
and maintenance of oil production plants). Do you have some links to places
where exchange of experience can be done without membership fees. I am ready
to give samples of schedules for tank maintenance works: rebottoming,
painting etc.

Thank you John, I appreciate your quick response.

We were thinking that the corruption had something to do with the fact that
the file was password protected. However, we decided to go back in and
re-create the file.

Exporting Time-phased data

Posted: 25 Jul 2005 07:20 AM PDT

Hi John,

Yes. I've tried the "Analyze Timescaled Data in Excel", however I am
constrained to using only the task name field to identify the rows in my
resulting spreadsheet; I want to include data from other columns as well
to help in the sorting/analysis of the entire data set.

For example, I want to summarize costs by WBS, or by resource group, or
other custom resource fields I've created.

Is there a way to create an export map for the "Analyze Timescaled Data
in Excel" the same way you can export other data using export maps?

Cost factors of material resources

Posted: 25 Jul 2005 05:13 AM PDT

Hi Eswer,
I'm assuming you are trying to assign an extra cost (you call it a burden)
onto your material cost? This is common accounting practice.
If this is this is the case and if the burden is a constant (e.g. Add a set
% to the material cost) you can create a custom field which uses the material
cost as the base and multipy it by the constant.
When I say the burden needs to be standardised I mean it should be a fixed
%, i.e. the business want to add 20% to all material costs!! The 20% is fixed
and can therefore be used in the formula based custom field.

Paul

Hope this clarifies my answer.

vba datedifference type mismatch?

Posted: 22 Jul 2005 10:46 AM PDT

Hey

Jack, you seems to be the expert.

yeah i noticed that i missed the parantece. but its not that.

Sorry if ive explained the problem a little bit diffuse.
but its not a problem to get a object to a string. but the problem is to get
"activity.calendar" to be an object.

but it is possible to write Activity.Calendar in VBA?

if i dont get this to work , it is possible to send you a sample project
file. so that you can try it? just see if its just my computer or
something....

Thanks

- Bjorn

What you say is absolutely true. There is no default method in Project
Server to delete completed tasks for an individual project only. Thanks for
clarifying that for everyone! :)

Material Resource overload

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 02:21 PM PDT

How could you set a max even if Project allowed it? Material resources are
things that are incorporated into the deliverable or consumed during its
production. If I have a wall that will require 500 bricks I can't just
arbitrarily stop building when I've used 250. If I did the wall won't ever
be finished and the project will be deemed a failure. Project's tracking of
material resources is to insure you know how many to order so you will have
enough on hand to do the job required. Essentially you can't load based on
materials - if the budgeted allowance isn't sufficient to complete the
required deliverables you only have three options - buy more materials,
reduce the project scope, or abandon it altogether.

Scheduling with a deadline while behind schedule

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 02:03 PM PDT

Hi,

When you use the reschedule work function, it shifts the unfinished work to
today (or tomorrow, depends), that is true.
It ignores predecessors of this work, logical isn't it, that's the past, you
only plan the future.
But it doesn't ignore the successors to these tasks, these are shifted just
as well.
You will probably get negative slack (if you fixed the end date with a hard
constraint) or a schedule overrun (when you only put a delay on the final
task).

Now by all means you're to move: can you increase resources (only few people
can, you know); can you use subcontreacting to speed up, etc.;LS project has
no way of guessing this and I wonder if any software will know your
possibilities to improve the schedule..

Slip task

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 11:17 AM PDT

Reading your post a question came to mind - was any work performed on the
11th? The task was originally scheduled to start on the 11th. If work was
NOT performed on it, we don't have a task being interrupted, we have a
task's start being delayed which is not the same thing at all. A task is
interrupted if work starts and then stands-down for some reason. If work
was performed on the 11th, the day of work for the 11th is "used up" in the
overall task duration and the interruption begins with the first moment work
should have happened but didn't, which is to say, the morning of the 12th,
NOT the moment the work that was performed finished, the afternoon of the
11th. If we work 8-5, work was done the 11th from 8 to 5 and the
interruption begins 8am the morning of the 12th, not 5pm the afternoon of
the 11th because non-working time, the hours from 5pm->8am, is ignored by
the calendars and might as well not even exist as far as the project is
concerned. The easiest way to post this to your schedule would be to enter
any actual work for that task on the day(s) it took place and then with that
task selected, use from the menu Tools / Tracking / UpdateProject and with
the radio button for "Selected Tasks" in the dialog box selected, use the
"Reschedule Uncompleted Work to Begin After..." option.

How to change pjDate_Www_dd ?

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 10:16 AM PDT

Well, it sounds strange, but the first date will be Dec 27'04, for 2005
calendar. This is, thas last week of Dec will be w1/1 ->w1/7. Part of the
problem could be that the last week of Dec is in MP, as of today, w53, and a
lot of companies only use 52 weeks for a calendar year. One of those
companies that use this format, that I know , is Intel
