(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.
Dear All,

Dear Mr.Gary,
Thanks for your Input.
problem is in cost based S Curve, values are showing i have spent more Money than planned early and less than planned late i am confused why this is happening where at summary level my project is still ahead of schedule.
Siddiqui,
This is quite feasible
Performance % complete is more than scheduled means you have done more work than planned -good news!
Actual costs/manpower is less than planned means not only have you done more work than planned, but using less manhours than planned -good news!
Villa is ahead of schedule and Infra is behind schedule means that despite doing more work than planned in total, you are late on doing one or more critical activities within the Infra section. -bad news!
You can perform better than planned and still be late, if you perform well on non-critical activities but poorly on critical activities.
