Calculating Daily Labour Count from P6 Resource Assignment data

Hello fellow P6 users,
If resources are assigned on activities in P6, and have also been leveled, what would be the best way to calculate daily labor presence on site? Currently I have used Excel to import resource assignment at activity level spread on an hourly timescale, and then processed this data to transform it into number of person on site for every work day of the project during its currency. The process is OK but laborious. Wonder how others do it, if at all.
I don't expect much response from P6 users as this is not a very common challenge in our industry but still hoping someone might have had enjoyed such experience to share here with us.
Thanks

  • Calculating Round Trip Time from Non-Spatial Log Data

    Hi,
    I have a log table which holds the vehicles' "entrance" an "exit" dates (dd.mm.yyyy) to/from regions like that:
    VEHICLE_ID REGION IN_TIME OUT_TIME
    1001 CUST_A 01.01.2007 03.01.2007
    1001 CUST_B 05.01.2007 06.01.2007
    1002 CUST_C 04.01.2007 06.01.2007
    1001 BASE_A 08.01.2007 11.01.2007
    1002 CUST_D 11.01.2007 12.01.2007
    1001 CUST_A 15.01.2007 15.01.2007
    1001 CUST_F 18.01.2007 19.01.2007
    1001 CUST_A 19.01.2007 20.01.2007
    1002 CUST_E 16.01.2007 19.01.2007
    in fact, this table was created for reporting "average wait time on each customer" but then i calculated "round trip time" by assigning "base region" ( vehicle round trip starts from "base region" then comes back to here, etc.. ) and creating some rules like "if it passes from CUST_A and CUST_D, it is 'ROUND TRIP A'"..
    vehicles' voyage report is like that :
    TRIP STARTDATE ENDDATE
    TRIP_A 01.01.2007 13.01.2007
    UNDEFINED 13.01.2007 16.01.2007
    TRIP_B 16.01.2007 02.01.2007
    now, trips are more complicated and i want to use spatial mechanism. any advise?
    thanks,
    Cihan.

    Thanks Steve,
    That makes Sense, as post authentication the phone to phone would be ofcourse less than 150ms when the traffic is locally switched.
    But I dont understand why the recommendation in the D&D guide "Roundtrip latency must not exceed 300 milliseconds  (ms) for data and 100 ms for voice and data between the access point  and the controller"
    I think it is applicable if the traffic is centrally switched?? or is there more to it, for roaming perhaps?
    Thanks

  • Difficulty synchroniz​ing data from VISA resource with data from a physical channel

    Essentially what I'd like my program to do is control the electrical power going (sourcing either current or voltage) into a light and measure the intensity of the light at a given power level, and then do this automatically for ~1000 increments of the source voltage/current.
    One of my lab partners made a program a while back which does what we want("LIV Sweep Rev.vi" the first image in the link at the end of this post), but it's a bit sloppy: the program is able to interact with the power supply (connected directly to the computer via USB) and make it turn on, increase the voltage/current, and record the "IV" characteristics just fine. The program can also interact with the light detector (connected via NI-BNC 2110) and gather the photocurrent data. The problem, however, is that the data wouldn't be in sync. The photocurrent data for when the light was actually supplied with 1V would be improperly recorded in the cell for when 2V are applied to the light. To fix this problem my lab partner added in a time delay so that the detector will pause for ~0.35 sec (user-specified in front panel) before gathering data.
    The program works, but I figured there had to be a better way. The thing about the timing, however, is that it changes from run to run. Sometimes a delay of 0.45 s works well, and other times the power supply will have shut down while the detector is still gathering data (and thus we miss the low end of the sweep). Other times the detector will turn on too early, which will cut off the high end of the sweep.
    (Note: I have next to zero experience with LabVIEW, but I know a little bit of java, so I understand most programming jargon)
    I spent all day yesterday trying to find out how to synchronize two data aquisitions (my attempt is shown in the "LIV SweepSummerDuncanRev3.vi" in the link at the bottom, 2nd image) but I'm running into trouble when I try to trigger the sample clock using the VISA Resource Name for the power supply.
    The programs can be viewed here:

    I'd really appreciate any and all advice that you folks have to offer!

    Change the code such that rather than using a ramp from your power supply, just output a single value. Then do your measurement and then step to the next value in your ramp.
    You can use a State Machine (SEarch if you do not know that term in LV).
    Some gear will allow specifying a ramp driven by an external clock. If you widget can handle an external clock/trigger that approach could run faster.
    Without hardware to syncronize the various sub-systems you would have to resort to using a RT OS and depending on the instruments, even that could be hit-n-miss.
    So re-code to step-measure-step-measure etc.

  • Amending resource assignment information

    I'm an admin user trying to test some settings for resource assignments. Quite simply, I’d like to change the 'remaining early start' and 'remaining early finish' dates. Not sure why, but i am not able to. i CAN however, change the figures in the resource spreadsheet.
    Within the user settings, the tick box for "all resources access" is selected and the global security profile is set to <Admin Superuser>
    I am yet to find anything within this project schedule that i cannot change - apart from resource assignment settings.
    Any idea what I’m missing?

    You should not have a problem providing the new resource assignment dates you are selecting are within the activity date range

  • Calculating count from two fact tables

    Hi Guys,
    My requirement,
    i have two fact table F1, F2 connected with a D1 dimension table, all table connected with a id column
    F1 ---------D1------------F2
    n 1 1 n
    i want to find out the distinct count from Fact F1 where the value also present in F2( ie. F1.id= F2.id condition).
    this measure usefull through out my project so i want create a logical column, how to create it.
    I tried this way:
    i Created two fact table in to one fact table by adding logical source, and created a logical column from existing logical source where F1.id=D1.id and D1.id=F2.Id but it is wrong
    Can any suggestion for solve my problem.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Hi,
    You can create an opaque view in physical layer and wrire a sql like
    Select f1.id,count(*) from f1,f2 where f1.id=f2.id group by f1.id.Join this through id with dimesnion and add this fact table in LTS of your fact and use count(*) in report.

  • Task types without resources assigned

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me figure this out. May sound dumb, but hey, no harm in asking.
    Since task types, resources and effort driven option all tie in together, does it matter if using Fixed Units or Fixed Duration for tasks don't have resources assigned and are
    not effort driven? What difference will it make since 2 entities are not being used?
    FYI - Project tasks are currently as Fixed Units.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    As you well defined that all these parameters (Work, Work type, Units & Durations) are tied and formula too works based on the values in these fields. Duration = Work/Units so the moment you take off units from the formula you are taking off the calculation
    functionality (related to these parameters) of the tool and everything gets dependent on your manual inputs.
    Even though based on the value you manually enter in work or % complete your actual work and remaining work plus remaining durations etc. do get calculated, yet I would say assign the resources to reach out to factual calculations.

  • CProjects-MS Project - import and export of task-role-resource assignment

    Hi,
    We are on PPM5.0
    We are currently working on cProjects-MSP client integration.
    What we have not been able to configure for import/export so far is:
    1. Task-Role-Resource assignment
    Whereas we are are able to import/export the "Person Responsible" and "Role Responsible" fields, we have not been able to align the task-role-resource assignments.
    We see a "Resource Name" column (Standard) in MSP. When we click on the drop down, we see all the roles from the cProjects project. But the alignment does not happen.
    Summary:
    On export and import, we need to automatically see the role-resource-task assignment. How is this possible?
    2. Code field to "VC_BUPA_GUID" gets a number which is not the BP ID.
    Is it possible to import the BP numbers in MSP. Also, how can we assign a number to the role in MSP such that on import into cProjects, the role is already staffed with the corresponding BP.
    3. Is it possible to export all the resources (BPs) into a drop down in MSP - like we see the Project Type, Role Type etc.
    Thanks.

    Hi Anuradha,
    Thanks for your inputs.
    When we export to MSP, we see the cProjects roles under the "Resource Name" drop down in MSP.
    However, they are only seen when we expand on the drop down.
    For e.g. RoleA, and RoleB are two roles in cProjects project, along with many other roles.
    Both of these roles are assigned to a task, say TASK1.
    When exported to MSP, we expect both of these roles to show against TASKI, as "RoleA, RoleB" under the "Resource Name" column. However, these roles are not seen. They only appear as elements of drop down, along with all other roles in the project, when we explicitly click on the drop down.
    Please let me know if I are missing out on something.
    Thanks.

  • How do I install the daily calorie counter you advertized in today's email to me?

    Today I received an email from Mozilla Firefox on my Verizon droid cell phone talking about new and ypdated features and services.

  • Settlement of labour cost from sales contract order to CO-PA

    Hi Gurus,
    Could you please explain how the calculation is made while settling the labour cost from sales cotract order to CO-PA.
    Thanks and Regards
    RC

    Hi,
       Basically the labour cost will be contained in a cost element. When you settle the sales order to COPA your settlement profile will contain the PA transfer structure where the cost elements are mapped to the value fields. Accordingly the labour cost will flow into the value field in COPA.

  • Read Resource Assignment Percentage and availbility

    I am using Excel to generate report showing resource Assignment Percentage and availability in given date range, any ideas which fields should I keep into consideration and which views to be used?

    Hi Syed,
    Which technology are you using? SSRS than export wot Excel, Excel Services? Are you using the OLAP DB or the Reporting DB?
    Basically the dbo.MSP_EpmAssignment_UserView will give you all that you need from the Reporting DB, such as:
    AssignmentStartDate
    AssignmentFinishDate
    AssignmentActualWork
    AssignmentWork
    AssignmentRemainingWork
    AssignmentPercentWorkCompleted
    Resource - Project - Task
    Hope this helps,

  • What do you do for resource assignment reporting / checking ?

    I've been tasked with writing a set of reports, the purpose of which is twofold.
    Firstly, to help department managers make decisions on new requirements coming in
    Secondly, to help resource managers check their resources' assignments against previous months (we move the data date across a large multi programme environment at the end of each calendar month)
    Sometimes it can be hard to think outside of the way we work in our organisation, so throwing the question out - what do you and your organisation do?
    Points available for the best answers!
    David

    Another option is to generate SQL reports within the database.
    While I have never generated anything advanced we often run basic resource assignment reports to identify where a given resource is assigned:
    Generic example:
    SELECT a.task_code, a.act_end_date, b.proj_short_name, d.rsrc_short_name
    FROM TASK a, project b, taskrsrc c, rsrc d
    WHERE c.rsrc_id=2298
    AND a.task_id = c.task_id
    AND b.proj_id = c.proj_id
    AND d.rsrc_id = c.rsrc_id
    AND a.proj_id = b.proj_id;

  • How can I get the value of a custom property from a resource object?

    I am trying to get the value(s) of a custom property, called "status" within a method. The method has an object of type IResource available to it.
    I have tried the following:
    PropertyName propName = new PropertyName("","status");
    value = res.getProperty(propName).toString();
    However, I am getting a NullPointerException when I try to create the PropertyName instance.
    Is there a better way to get the value of a specific property from a resource object?
    Thanks,

    Thanks Praveen.
    I was missing the default namespace of "http://sapportals.com/xmlns/cm" - I thought I could just pass an empty string for the namespace, but it looks like I must always specifiy, even if it is default.

  • File Adapter - how to get the file count from a folder

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement that have to poll a directory when the file count is reached to number N (ex:number of files avilable in folder is 5) otherwise it should wait and not pick any of the files. Is it possible to get the file count from a folder using file adapter ?? otherwise please suggest me an approach to achieve this requirement.
    Thanks,
    JJ

    Hi Sarath,
    Thank you for your reply.
    Go with the list files operation of file adapter it will gives you the number of files in the specified folder as you given. . - this step is already done.
    When the number of files reaches your count startup your webservice that which can polls the files. . . - how can i acheive this?? Have to poll the directory and process the number files - please let me know, what could be added to the webservice which is being invoked after cheking file count from parent process.
    The reason for the above question is - we cannot use ReadFile operation in second webservice because it will be automatically triggered when the file is avilable. Also SyncRead operation supports reading one file in b/w bpel process. Kindly explain me the implementation steps.
    Thanks,
