@Ahmed Aziz, thanks for your reponse.

What you stated is exactly what I did but my problem is anytime I input a value for %complete in the colum, it only dislay 6% alone. e.g, if I type 50% complete for activity, the colum will display 6%. If I enter 20%, it will still display 6%. I don't know why

this is not the proper way to update a schedule

if you are going to use performance % complete then you need to change the % complete type physical

and you need to indicate an actual start date for the activity and then the performance % complete

if the activity is complete you need to indicate the actual finish date

Dear yahya,

if you want to update the percantage complete, you need to know the % complete type for each activity and update accordingly.

here is a better method: show the activity % complete column and update it
