Hi community - I’m having an issue with pulling a report that shows a list of all our portfolio projects, however the report is pulling both parent and sub projects, ultimately double counting. Does anyone have any tips on how to only show:

  1. projects with no sub projects +
  2. sub projects of projects with parents

For example, project “a” has sub projects “b” and “c”. Our reporting is pulling through metrics from project “a”, “b”, and “c” which is double counting, inflating our metrics.

 

Any tips are greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks.

Hey ​@kayla.schwarz 
 

If you’re running into double-counting in Planview AdaptiveWork reports, here’s a quick trick using the ParentProject field to keep things tidy:

To see only top-level (standalone) projects:

  1. Add a filter on the ParentProject field

  2. Set the condition to Equals

  3. Set the value to ConstraintSpecialValue

To see only sub-projects:

  1. Add a filter on the ParentProject field

  2. Set the condition to Not Equals

  3. Set the value to ConstraintSpecialValue

By applying one of these filters, you’ll get a clean, focused report either just standalone projects or just sub-projects without any double-counting. 

Hope this helps keep your portfolio reporting neat and accurate!

Hi Archana, thanks so much for your response however I don’t see an option in the filter to set “Parent Project” to “ConstraintSpecialValue”. I only see the ability to set the filter “Parent Project” to Equals, Not Equal, Is One Of, Is Not One Of, Black or Non-Blank. I tried non black but that still showed the parent projects.

It does not allow me to select “ConstraintSpecialValue” it only allows me to select a specific project.
