How to Develop S curve or Cash Flow in Excel using Primavera p6 data?

Both S-curves and cash flow curves are essential tools for project managers to ensure that a construction project stays on track in terms of progress and finances. They provide valuable insights into project performance and help in making informed decisions.
Creating an S-curve in Primavera P6 typically involves using the Report Wizard to generate a graphical report that displays planned versus actual progress over time. Here are the steps to create an S-curve using the Report Wizard in Primavera P6:
Open Your Project: Launch Primavera P6 and open the project for which you want to generate the S-curve.
Access the Report Wizard:
Go to the "Reports" menu.
Select "Report Wizard" to open the Report Wizard window.
Select a Report Type:
In the Report Wizard window, select the type of report you want to create. For S-curve purposes, you'll typically choose a "Graphical" or "Resource" report type.
Choose Data Source:
In the Data Source section, select "Activities" or "Resource Assignments," depending on whether you want to create a resource-based S-curve or an activity-based S-curve.
Define Your Filters:
Use the "Filter" tab to define the filters for your S-curve. Filters help you specify the time frame and other criteria for your report. For S-curves, you'll typically set the time period (e.g., weekly, monthly) and choose the relevant project data.
Select Data Columns:
In the "Columns" tab, choose the data columns you want to include in your S-curve report. You may select columns like "Planned Value," "Earned Value," and "Actual Cost."
Configure the Graph:
In the "Graph" tab, configure the appearance and settings of your S-curve graph. You can specify the X-axis (time) and Y-axis (values) settings, as well as the graph type (line graph is common for S-curves).
Set the Time Periods:
In the "Time Periods" tab, define the intervals for your S-curve graph. This is where you specify how often data points should be plotted (e.g., monthly, weekly).
Preview and Generate:
Use the "Preview" button to see a sample of your S-curve report based on the settings you've configured.
Once you're satisfied with the preview, click the "Generate" button to create the report.
Save and Export:
After generating the S-curve report, you can save it for future use within Primavera P6 or export it in various formats, such as PDF or Excel, for external use or presentation.
Name and Save Your Report:
Give your report a meaningful name and specify where you want to save it.
Review and Analyze:
Open the saved S-curve report to review and analyze planned versus actual progress over time.
By following these steps in the Report Wizard, you can create a customized S-curve report that suits your project's needs in Primavera P6.
