(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.
How the unit % complete is getting updated?
Even though I apply the latest duration % for each activity, the unit % is getting considerably changed only when I change the Data Date. What Data Date has to do in the updation of the Unit & completion besides the duration percentages for the indivudual activities?
Could anyone please explain me why it is so?
Any feedback will be appreciable.

Understand how % complete is treated in P6.
(Below is copy paste description from P6).
To indicate that the activity's percent complete will be entered by the user for this activity, select Physical. In this case, Activity % Complete = Physical % Complete.
To specify that the activity's percent complete be calculated from the original or planned and remaining durations, select Duration. In this case, Activity % Complete = Duration % Complete = (Original or Planned Duration – Remaining Duration) / Original or Planned Duration.
To specify that the activity's percent complete be calculated from the actual and remaining units, select Units. In this case, Activity % Complete = Units % Complete = (Actual Labor Units + Actual Nonlabor Units) / (Actual Labor Units + Actual Nonlabor Units +Remaining Labor Units + Remaining Nonlabor Units).

No correlation of Unit % complete to data date.
