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.

Percent Complete Conflict in Summary

In the P6 Projects Overview screen, the "Duration % of Original" value for my project is about 18%. I also performed the following calculation in excel by exporting the duration columns: (Planning Duration-Remaining Duration)/Planned Duration *100. The value here is only 3%.

Why is the summary % value different from the conventional formula - are both these not measuring the same?

 

The default Percent Complete Type is set to 'Duration' for all activities as well.

Thanks,

Kashyap
