(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.
Hello Planning professionals,
When updating P6 schedule using Duration % complete, Units are not getting updated automatically. This issue exists when maintain & Assign baseline using "save a copy of project as new baseline" option is chosen. However the issue gets solved when I opted for " Convert another project to a new baseline of the current Project" option. Would like to know the root cause of the issue. Please help
Settings I used,
Project Defaults
Duration type: fixed duration and units
% complete type: Duration
Activity type: Task dependent
Project Calculations:
Recalculate Actual units and cost when duration % changes: Checked
Link Actual to date and actual this period units and costs: Checked
Link Budget and At completion for not started activities : checked
Resource Autocompute Actuals: Checked
Rest all settings are set to default.

Hi Zoltan,
Thank you for the detailed explanation regarding the application of various percent complete type in real scenarios. It was really helpful.
Hi Raymund,
Refreshing didnt work. However when I closed the schedule and reopened , it started working. Thank you for your feedback.
Hi Alex,
It worked when I closed the schedule and re-opened. Thank you for sharing your valuable experience.
The activity percent complete type is one of "Duration", "Units", or "Physical". The percent complete type controls whether the Activity % Complete is tied to the Duration % Complete, the Units % Complete, or the Physical % Complete for the activity. Set the percent complete type to "Duration" for activities which are duration driven, for example, administration tasks and training classes. Set the percent complete type to "Physical" for activities which are work-product driven, for example, creating a document or a product. Set the percent complete type to "Units" for activities which are work effort driven, for example, providing a consulting service.
so your % complete type should be physical % complete
also The Duration % of Planned is defined as The activity actual duration percent of planned. Computed as (Actual Duration / BL Duration) * 100. The value can exceed 100. The BL Duration is the activity's at complete duration from the current baseline.
this i why it is working when you attach a basleine.
