The Filters Module in P6 is a very powerful tool. However, when using – the “Activity Name equals/contains” option, problems could arise when Activity Names contain embedded double spaces. For example, in the illustration below, there are 4 ‘Review Bids’ activities. In this case, setting a Filter specification to: “Activity Name contains ‘Review Bids'” will only return 2 results. This is because 2 of the 4 activity names have embedded double spaces.
Checking for this condition using P6 alone is difficult and nearly impossible even in a moderately sized CPM Network.
In Zümmer Analysis Report #02, “Activity Names with Embedded Double Space”, not only lists all instances, but the ‘Set Group’ column even shows you where to look. Using Zümmer concurrently with P6 helps speed the process of eliminating embedded double spaces.
