Gantt Chart in P6 Analytics - OBIEE

Question

If you search the web, Oracle KB etc. you may find that Gantt Charts are not supported currently in Analytics. There is however a way to create a basic gantt in OBIEE.
Step 1: Create a new analysis using the 'Activity' Subject Area.
Step 2: In the Criteria tab, add the following columns:
> Project Name (Project/General)
> Year Name; Or Month Name, depending on your preferred starting timescale.
> Total Float (Activity/Durations)
> # of Projects (Fact - Primavera - Activity)
Step 3: Edit Formula of Total FLoat as AVG("Durations - (Activity)"."Total Float") so that the float rolls up from activity level to the project level.
Step 4: Create conditional formats on the '# of Projects' field (Column Properties/Conditional Format)
>Con Format 1 - Add Format when '# of Projects' is NOT NULL, then use background color as GREEN.
>Con Format 2 - Add Format when 'AVG(Total Float) is LESS THAN 0.00, then use background color as RED.
Step 5: Now view results.
Step 6: Create Pivot Table View.
Step 7: Edit the Pivot Table view.
Step 8: Move the fields into the Pivot parts as follows:
>Rows: 'Project Name'
>Columns: 'Year Name; Month Name' whichever you picked.
>Measures: '# of Projects'
>Excluded: 'AVG(Total Float)
Step 9: Click Done at the top of the page to conclude the compound edit complete.
Step 10: Brag that you created a Gantt in P6 Analytics; maybe even remove the '# of Projects' numbers by changing the format, or look at using '# of Activities' in it's place.

Answer 1

Cautionary Note+:
'# of Projects' in the Presentation and Logical Layers of the RPD take values from the W_Activity_Spread_F ---> 'count(distinct Fact_W_ACTIVITY_SPREAD_F_Activity_Spread.PROJECT_WID)' in the Physical tables. This means it takes counts from data like All Dates; Baseline Data; Units; Durations etc.
The only issue with this is that all values in a project's date calculations are included. If you have Programme Managers imposing stupid 'Must Finish By' dates earlier than the 'Scheduled Finish' for example, you will notice that you OBI Gantt doesn't look like you P6 Gantt as there will be 'Project Counts' earlier than your P6 Gantts. In this example it will be because the 'Late Remaining Start' dates will be before the 'Project Planned Start' dates. It happens.
