Delay Analysis report in Primavera P6: Hide Baseline dates in Delay Event project

When performing delay analysis in Primavera P6, it’s common to compare the Impacted Schedule with the Baseline Schedule. However, displaying baseline dates in the Delay Event project can be misleading and unnecessary, as they do not represent meaningful data in that context.

By default, Primavera P6 displays values in the Baseline Start and Baseline Finish columns—even when they are not relevant.

To avoid confusion, you can hide these baseline dates in the Delay Event project by following these steps:

Step-by-Step Guide to Hide Baseline Dates

1. Create an Empty Project

Start by creating a new, empty project in Primavera P6. This project will serve as a placeholder baseline with no data.

2. Convert the Empty Project into a Baseline

Once the empty project is created, convert it into a baseline. This can typically be done through the Project menu > Maintain Baselines > Add.

3. Assign the Empty Baseline to the Delay Event Project

Next, assign the newly created empty baseline to your Delay Event project. This will override the default baseline values with empty fields.

Result: Baseline Dates Are Now Hidden

After assigning the empty baseline, the Baseline Start and Baseline Finish columns in the Delay Event project will appear blank, eliminating confusion and keeping your report clean and focused.
