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.

Is there a different calculation in the Planned Value Cost field within the activities view in P3e and the Planned Value Cost field in Projects view? In doing monthly reports, i have some variances between the two sets of figures even though the plan is the same and the baseline attached is the same.

I have checked project settings, Planned Start and Finish Dates, BL start & Finish Dates, BL costs etc. but can’t see why the two values would be different.

Cheers

You also need to check that the resource planned dates coincide with the activity planned dates. Don’t forget to summarise open projects. For some reason our P3ec has stopped doing it automatically at the end of the day

It might be worth checking in the Project view to see whcih baseline is being used for earned value calculations and also which baseline is being used for summary information.
