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.

go to projects directory make sure that your project is highlighted check your clacluations settings under resource assignments it should be subtract actual from at completion. 

also the recalculey actual units and costs when duration % complete changes 

and link actual and actual this period units and cost

In the defaults tab the duration type should be Fixed durations and units/time

then run a global change where duration % complete = physcial % complete

the price/unit has to be 1 at least 1 becasue anything multiplied or divided by 0 = 0

Hi Zoltan,

It's been a while from the last time we exchange our plesanatries...

With regards to the query above from Haresh, just like to know why is the budgeted cost we directly put on P6 turns to zero (0) when we input the actual dates and/or physical % complete? Hoping to hear from the Master the soonest!
