Hi Nicolas,
A)please check your calender day.. did you put any holiday ?
B) go tool > option > calculation ... check all the command.
Hi Andrew
Didnt you check the
"fixed duration" on that task? ({Shift}{F2})
In that case it seems normal that the duration
does not change?

Thanks for replying, the bar is not a summary bar its a normal activity bar. my main point being is that I have done a third of the duration in the first week, but the progress shows a third done but over the whole original period, which makes the end date for that activity wrong. The progress line is showing that the activity is ahead of programme % wise but finishes late due to the late start.
Best Regards
Andrew
Hi Andrew,
The % Complete of duration is actually a bit funny in the way it calculates it at summary level. However, in essence, it looks at the durations of each individual activity and calculates the summary based on the sum total of those durations.
Example: two activities. A1=20 days, A2=10 days. Total activity days = 20+10=30 days. If A1=20% complete (4 days) and A2=80% complete (8 days), the summary % Complete will be [4+8]/30= 40% Complete. It DOES NOT look at the duration of the summary bar itself.
