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.

Hi there

Still learning this MS software

Is there a formula for calculating the slip/delay to tasks behind schedule?

Ive baselined and created a planned % complete and have manually marked up progress in the % complete column

is there a formula that looks at both and generates a duration?

 

Thanks Charlie

Suggest using Excel to help communicate and develop the formulas.

It might be you need an additional UDF and formula to calculate Planned Duration depending on the MSP available fields.

Good Luck,

Hi thanks for the reply

 

these links seem to deal with the varience from baseline to resheduled position

What Im actually trying to achieve is the traditional slip column you would get in ASTA

i.e. 10 day activity is due to complete on the report date but is only 80%

so the 3 columns would look like

Planned 100 (Pasted into this column from updating project and then undoing)

Actual 80 (manually typed)

Slip -2 days

All without reshedulling

Any ideas?

Long time I have not used MSP, do not even have a license but maybe this can help:

Be careful with formulas and the difference between varanace calculated considering only workdays versus variance that also include non-work days.

Good Luck
