Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

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.

While tracking the project schedule i am finding problem. Some activities taking more duration then it was planned, so while updating the schedule i have entered actual start, remaining duration. Then the % completion is taking automaticallty. But the project summery task % completion is showing very much higher then it actually completed. How to solve this. Is there any other process to do the correct tracking. It will be very much help to me if anybody can answer me.

The % Complete is % Duration and will sunmmerise at Summary Levle based on the proportion of the total Actual Durations over the total of durations.

The Physical % Does not summerise.

This leaves % Work, so you would have to assign resources or you could do something with Custom Fields and formulae.
