(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.
| Task name | BASELINE START | BASELINE FINISH | ACTUAL START | ACTUAL FINISH | EXPECTED COMPLETION DATE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Initial | 01-Aug | 05-Aug | 01-Aug | 05-Aug | NA |
| Task2 | 08-Aug | 10-Aug | 08-Aug | 12-Aug | NA |
| Task3 | 11-Aug | 12-Aug | NA | NA | 16-Aug |
| Task4 | 15-Aug | 17-Aug | NA | NA | 19-Aug |
| Final | 18-Aug | 19-Aug | NA | NA | 23-Aug |
Task-2 exceeded 2 days, so final task is expected to be complete on 23-Aug as shown above.
How to calculate automatically the expected completion date when the actual finish date is different from baseline finish ?

Karthik abi,
If you have linked your tasks, MSP will complete this by operating a Forwards Pass. and the final task will automatically finish on the calculated Expected Completion Date. Be sure to Auto-Schedule your tasks to achieve this.
You can check the scheduling method used on your project in the "Status" column:
You can check that the Forwards Pass is going to work correctly by checking the links in the "Precedessors" Column.
I hope this helps, come back to us if you need any further help.
