Thank you so much for the video, I am doing a historical cleanup where the budgeted - Actual is not equal to the remaining. I have this data for about 589 projects. is there a way to change the settings to affect these past projects.

thank you a lot

[@Pacific998]

I normally input percentage complete, to get the earned value. but P6 won't calculate actual units. is there a way to do auto calculate? I used option B. i have a fixed lump sum contract, so i need to maintain at completion = budgeted cost

[@arkanaejaz3538]

Sir Do you know how to make PV=EV while revising schedule in lump sum fixed contract?

[@Pacific998]

@@arkanaejaz3538 PV is fixed. You've to use the planned percentage= physical percent complete to make EV=PV

when I enter actuals manually and start the update progress it always recalculates the actuals I entered manually and fixes it budget units/time. how I can keep the actuals the same as I entered? can someone help me, please?

[@peterwang4500]

I'm facing this problem too, have you by any chance already found the solution?

[@getugebre8521]

I like your tutorial; But on this presentation the words are invisible and undetectable; So it is difficult to follow the steps. Please as much as possible make clear the camera focus to be visible.

[@syamalabalaravikanthreddy9546]

When we do that how to calcluate the progress percentages does it should be based on at completion units or budgeted units

[@mohammedabu-elghiet5652]

[@qazisalaheen8324]

[@PlanAcademy]

[@abdelouahabbelalia2072]

Great sir , tank you

[@aroop2000]

Thanks

[@walidkhlil2872]

thanks

[@dammikamahesh]

Dear Sir, I Have a small point to be clarified here. As I observed your budgeted units are 400 hrs. But your budgeted cost is Zero initially. Why it is happening? Is your rate Zero? Then you entered the budgeted cost separately. Could you please explain me this. Thanking you very much and I appreciate your work.

[@PlanAcademy]

You can see I have unchecked "Calculate Costs from Units". This is because I often work with FIXED costs on activities - so I uncheck this option and manually enter a Fixed cost into the "Budgeted Cost" field. That way if durations or units change, my costs do not.

@@PlanAcademy Got it Sir. Thank you very much.
