Deltek Cobra CAP Earned Value Data

You can link to detailed phase-based Earned Value (EV) data from Deltek Cobra's Excel-based CAP report. Importing a CAP report into Acumen enables Earned Value metrics to be run during an analysis.

Outputs from an EV analysis (for example, CPI, SPI, SV, CV) are not imported from the CAP report. Instead, these calculations are carried out in Acumen and are included in the Earned Value metrics.

You can import a Microsoft Excel file containing data from a Deltek Cobra CAP report by selecting the S1 // Projects tab and, in the Get External Data From menu group, click Microsoft Excel > Deltek Cobra Spreadsheet Report for Planning (CAP).

Cobra linking in Acumen does not support custom field mapping.

Earned Value metric analysis is not limited to Cobra data. EV data can originate from any of the supported platforms and be imported into an Acumen workbook through custom field mapping.
