Explore how to build a dynamic S-curve model in Power BI to track progress data from Primavera P6, generate earned value, baseline, and forecast for management decisions.
Export the Primavera baseline curve via resource assignment, then build an s-curve in Power BI using a flip-flop pivot (cumulative budget unit, budget unit, cumulative remain late, remain late unit).
Learn how to dynamically compute the maximum date in Power Query, convert dates to numbers, and add a custom column to create a robust weekly progress s-curve in Power BI.
Build an s-curve weekly and interval in Power BI by creating a decks table and measures to compute pv percentage from paget and budget units, while filtering out total value.
Learn to compute cumulative PV% in Power BI by using DAX and CALCULATE with date filters, turning interval values into a cumulative curve and validating against total budget units.
Learn to set up a financial period in Power BI, store weekly actuals, and align updates with the plan to prevent redistributing actuals and ensure accurate weekly trends.
Learn how to store updates for trend analysis by recording the financial period and actuals in Primavera P6, using earned value, cumulative periods, and forecast adjustments.
Learn how to bring updates into Power BI from an Excel update, clean headers, pivot and unpivot data, manage dates, and compute the estimate at completion from earned value.
Create update curves in Power BI by building EV and AV measures, linking update to baseline, and computing cumulative and forecasted earned value metrics including estimate at completion.
Link PV and EV into a single S-curve by using a date table in Power BI for project planning and control, aligning activity dates and baselines with updates.
Import and map activity codes in Power BI by creating a codes table in Excel, cleaning headers, and trimming spaces to guarantee a correct activity ID link.
Learn to link activity codes to updates and baselines in Power BI and reflect earned value metrics on an s-curve, using advanced measures, filters, and calculate with all except area.
Master trend analysis in Power BI by comparing earned value, plan, and actual with cumulative weekly data, and visualize area trends with filters and previous values.
Compute variance and its weight in Power BI using earned value concepts, deriving variance percentage from EV and PV, and applying budget unit totals with phase-wise impact and SPI.
Design a PowerPoint-based dashboard for Power BI by crafting cards and charts, exporting as PNG, and building an s-curve with EV and PV trends.
This course is designed to provide participants with the skills and knowledge required to create and analyze advanced S-curves using Power BI. The course covers more advanced topics such as cumulative S-curves, project forecasting, P6| Financial period, and advance Dax formula. Participants will learn how to use Power BI to create and analyze S-curves, and how to apply this knowledge to real-world scenarios in their own work.
