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.

Dear Vrinda, Activity percentage completion type is "Duration" in your project. You shall change the "Type" among Duration-Units-Physical.

  1. Choose Project, Activities.

  2. Select the activity whose percent complete type you want to define.

  3. Display Activity Details, then click the General tab.

  4. Select the percent complete type:

    To indicate that the activity's percent complete will be entered by the user for this activity, select Physical. In this case, Activity % Complete = Physical % Complete.

    To specify that the activity's percent complete be calculated from the original or planned and remaining durations, select Duration. In this case, Activity % Complete = Duration % Complete = (Original or Planned Duration – Remaining Duration) ¸ Original or Planned Duration.

    To specify that the activity's percent complete be calculated from the actual and remaining units, select Units. In this case, Activity % Complete = Units % Complete = (Actual Labor Units + Actual Nonlabor Units) ¸ (Actual Labor Units + Actual Nonlabor Units +Remaining Labor Units + Remaining Nonlabor Units).

Good morning,

I looked for your question,I found in the net that:

There are many different methods for calculation of actual progress in Primavera P6.  These methods involve using many fields and settings, including:

  • Duration % Complete
  • Units % Complete
  • Physical % Complete
  • Percent Complete Type
  • Activity % Complete
  • Performance % Complete
  • Earned Value settings of the WBS Elements

So may be you are showing in your column an other percent complete different of the percent complete of your global project

 

Good luck
