Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

% complete of Resource - actual work results.

I have a project 9 month Old which I update regularly. Now all my time scaled data is not showing result as per % complete I enter in Tracking Gant View.Many of %complete data are different & so is the time scaled results. Why is it so?

Its randomly distributed & not of a common crieteria. My proj is about 1100 Task of which about 15 Task’s resource usage results are wrong.

Dear Alexandre
Thanks but all my option settings are correct & problem is only with few tasks other tasks are OK.If I correct it physically in resource view it changes % complete in Tracking Gantt view & doesn’t spread the resource as per work happened in due corse of time.(Resources are entered in sqm of qty & no of man days- entered as material).

Yes all my tasks are resource loaded & the problem is for few tasks only.For example in one particular task my % complete (& % work complete) is entered as 18% but in resource view its 0%.So no actual work data is appearing in time scaled result of resource view (which I have to update physically in seperate spreadsheet).

Thanks for yr message but may be I didn’t explain the problem properly. There are many tasks in my schedule which has been updated by me. Now for few tasks even after enetring % work complete (& % complete) in Tracking Gant view % complete is not appearing in Resource usage view.

You may be confusing %Complete with %WorkComplete.

%Complete reflects the Percentage of elapsed time; %WorkComplete represents the work done.

Consider a task that has 2 days of work and 10 days of duration. After 5 days, no work has been done.

%Complete = 50%; %WorkComplete = 0%
