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.

Satishan,
If you looked at the previous project, you find it is cost loaded. It may using only dummy cost to weight the activities. Below is link for some example on how to cost load you activities.

Dear Rodel,

you are correct that the project is not cost loaded.
but how can we get the schedule % complete without the cost load.for the previous project the % is showing correctly in the summary bar.
for this project only there is a problem.
is there any ting to do for the resource allocation or some settings has changed...

satishan,
The reason is because you program is not cost loaded. P6 calculates % Complete using budget cost.
