You can not roll up Physical % complete as they may all be calculated on a different basis.

Hi Paul,

What I’m expecting is to see the "physical % complete" to be calculated up to the project summary. Right now, if I enter 5% physical complete on a task, the overall project physical % complete is still showing 0% even though I have some tasks underneath having physical % complete. How come??? How to have the overall project’s physical complete status?

In the Activities Workspace, Activities details, General tab.

Hi Paul, thanks for idea...but how can you do it?....

"The Physical % Complete field may be linked to the Activity % Field by setting the activities % Complete type equal to Physical."



Have a nice day.

Where to set it?

The Units % Complete will update your Actuals Units and a change to actual units will update the Units % Complete.



If you make the activities’ % Complete type equal to Units then this will link the Units% Complete to Activity % Complete and this value will be displayed on the bars.



The Physical % Complete field may be linked to the Activity % Field by setting the activities % Complete type equal to Physical.

Hi Mirko



One of the options is to use - > Project Option - Calculation

"Update Actual Unit when duration % complete changes"



This will automatical change the actual unit when you changes your "Duration % Complete" - But not the Phical % Complete.



Before you run this option you can run a global change to align the duration % Complete with Physical % Complete.



But because you updated the duration % Complete it will affect some of the activity type on the remaining duration



Need to test run it before you can use this process.
