As long as you have a proper CPM in your schedule, you can always calculate delays in MPP.
Step 1: Update completely and accurately your project
Step 2: Use Tools Tracking Update Project, then click Reschedule uncompleted work to start, then assign a date.
Step 3: Review your updated Critical Path
Step 4: if you can do it, mitigate delays, if not, voila, you have your updated completion date.
I hope this helps.
Thanks
Is there any way to calculate potential days delay or Slip?

Theres another way to do this.
Saving a separate file of your baseline project, and name it as "as planned" file. Use the Tools Tracking as complete through, then assign a date. After MPP calculates the % complete, copy paste this field to your baseline or current project as a text field. This is similar to P3, the only difference is you have to cut and paste the calculated as planned %, not assign the "as planned" schedule as a target schedule.
what darren has explained is perfect if you really want a dynamic way of showing the as planned %. If you have not get the hung of the complicated formula, you may use the above as an alternative way to show as planned %.

Chris,
Whichever field you’ve used to show Planned % Complete, should also have ‘calculation for task and group summary rows’ options. Check the ‘use formula’ radio button and it should then roll up to summary levels.
(Tools > Customize > Fields)

Christopher,
This thread should suit your needs. Look at post #2 from Niek Zonneveld.

By the way you need to set a baseline for it to work. ;o)
