Applying filters simultaneously
in [Project]

From: Amey on 1 Feb 2010 00:05 Dear sir , I have created one filter for Late tasks and each one for Electrical, PHE and other activities. Now I want to apply both of them simultaneously. Like late acivities of PHE . I can do it by manually selecting both the different columns and applying respective filters. But I can I do it just by using combination of two different filters simultaneously? -- Amey B. Vidvans, Planning Engineer Vidvans_amey(a)rediffmail.com
From: Rob Schneider on 1 Feb 2010 00:50 It is not possible to do it "simultaneously" directly. You have to be more specific and tell the computer what "simultaneously" means by yourself combining the two filters into filter definition which combines both ideas of how to filter. First, think of what logic you want. Is it:? Option 1 for New Filter = [Late Tasks] *and* [Electrical PHE] Option 2 for New Filter = [Late Tasks] *or* [Electrical PHE] Once you decide which these are, then define a new filter which combines into multiple rows exactly what you want. --rms www.rmschneider.com On 01/02/10 05:05, Amey wrote: > Dear sir , > I have created one filter for Late tasks and each one for Electrical, > PHE and other activities.

From: Jim Aksel on 1 Feb 2010 01:29 You are applying two filters consecutively and gettting the result you would get if they were applied "simultaneously" If you want to avoid the extra step of applying a second filter, you can create a single filter that does both things for you. Project/Filter/More Filters... Select New, this reveals the "Filter Definition" dialog box Give the filter a name and (optionally) select to show it in the menu In the criteria, you want Field Name=Status, Test=equals, and Values(s) = Late. On new lines use the "And" to concatenate the additional criteria: AND, resource Name=PHE, etc. If you choose to show the filter in the menu, it becomes available in two places: 1. In the filter drop down. 2. Project/Filter... If you wish the filter to be available to all project files you use on that machine, you can move it to the Global.mpt (master template) file: Tools/Organizer... pull the filters tab and move if from the right to the left (into the Global). -- If this post was helpful, please consider rating it.
