Primavera Tricks : Why Primavera P6 Can not Filter On Start Or Finish Date By Default || dptutorials




Consider this project as an example here in this tutorial.

Let us try to show only activity which finish on 04-Jul-18. What we generally do is, we create a filter like this: But you will notice that the screen goes blank without showing any activity.

But why does this happen?

Let us know the solution now. You need to show the time of activity by going to Edit, User Preferences , Dates tab, In “Time” section, click on “24 hour” Now you can see the date format showing the Time for start and finish.

You should have noticed by now that when we created a filter, primavera will treat the time as 00:00 by default.

That’s why P6 can not find any activity.

So let us modify the filter again to cover the entire day like this.

Now, P6 will  show  the activity which has finish date of 04-Jul-18.

That's it friends.
