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.

Hello Zameer ,
That depends on how you want to see the total percent complete , if u want to see in all the levels , then u have to select top in all the levels , if you want to see the total complete of the project then u have to select "top" only in the topmost level.

Ravi has answer your question in some sort, im in doubt if it meets your needs.
You need to present your report to expect the audience to undestand.
first,make a baseline in p3 as target, then decide what algorithm to compute % complete, is it physical, unit, or duration, allocate either MH or cost. the go to menu.. report > cost/resources,then print
i hope it helps
regards.

For the overall project - percent complete, take the LEVEL 1 print-out. Its a part of monthly report submission in most of the orgz’s.

In the percent complete column, it will show % complete.

In the footer, (If the finish date is not imposed) it will show the updated completion date.

Cheers,
