Portfolio Modeler

[ERCOT PMO]

I am trying to test out Portfolio Modeler and when creating a new model can't
get passed the initial setup where projects and resource are selected. Once
I've selected those options and press "next" I get the following error:

The selected combination of projects, resources and scheduling options
yields a schedule that exceeds 8,570 days. No modeling results are available.

Does anyone have any insight as to what causes this error?

Check to see if any of the projects has a resource assigned to do work on a
milestone, which is a no-no.

ERCOT:

The error message is telling you that your modeled schedule is going out
past 2049, which is the end of all time according to Microsoft Project.<g>
So you might now imagine how the Y2K issue was solved/avoided/deferred 49
years in this product. IMO, it's unlikely that this is caused by assigning
resources to milestones. Its more likely that assigning resources to summary
tasks would drive the schedule out 45 years.

So, it's likely that you have some scheduling anomoly in one or all of the
member plans that is causing a garbage-in/garbage-out behavior.

My mistake. Thanks for the correction, Gary.
