How to Change Calendar From 5 Day to 7 Day but keep Project Finish Date Unchanged In Primavera P6

In this tutorial, let us learn how to change the calendar from 5 day workweek to 7 day workweek but keeping the project finish Date unchanged in Primavera P6.
After working for so many hours to complete the project schedule, you might be getting to know that you should be using the 7 day calendar instead of the 5 day calendar.
Changing Activity calendar will change everything.
Normally, if we change calendar to 7 Day Workweek, all the activity finish dates will change.
Now the sample project in this video is having the finish date as 21st Oct’19
And now, if you change the calendar to 7 day workweek, the Project finish date will be changing to 03rd Jul’19.
So, in this tutorial, I will show you How to Change Calendar from 5 Day Workweek to 7 Day Workweek but keeping Project Finish Date unchanged.
In the original schedule
Step 1 : Go to menu bar and under Enterprise tab , choose User Defined Fields
Create a field with title “Finish 5D” and Data Type as Finish Date. And one more user defined field with title “Start 5D” with Data Type as Start Date
Step 2 : Go to menu bar and under Tools tab, choose Global Change.
Create a global change and name it as “SaveTo5D” and create the rule as if where “blank”, then Start5D= Planned Start date, Finish5D=Planned Finish date and click “Change” button to copy value to “Start 5D” and “Finish 5D” UDF and then click on commit changes,
close the window
Step 3 : Now Change Activity calendar to 7 Day Workweek.
You can change calendar for the first activity then use Fill Down function to apply for the rest activities.
Step 4 : Go to menu bar and under Tools tab, choose again the Global Change.
Create a Change “Copyfrom5D” and set the rules as
If where “blank”, then Planned Start date = Start5D, Project Finish date = Finish5D.
Click “Change” button to copy value to Start and Finish date.
Now we can see all activity Start and Finish date doesn’t change, only the Activity Duration changes.
You can observe that the Project finish Date is still 21-Oct-19.
So friends, in this way one can change the calendar without changing the Project Finish Date.
