You dont see 30% because thats not how MSP calculates Summary % Complete,
especially if you only have Milestones.
Even if you have, say, 10 tasks which have some duration, say 1 Day, those
10 tasks may be distributed in any of any number of ways, over any overall
duration, say 20 days, and then various of those tasks may each be not
started yet, or somwhat complete or 100% Complete.
How is MSP (or you) to calculate Summary % Complete which accounts for all
possibilities, and also always "looks right" visually?
Its a compromise. We accept the MSP Summary % Complete calculation and
dont attach much much meaning to it because there isnt much.
What if your 10 Milestones are spread across 10 days (with date constraints
or lag, or other predecessors), with, say, the 3 complete ones all at the
very start, and the others at the very end? Is 30% for the Summary still
what you expect?
I think ( and I stand to be corrected) it is to do with the zero duration value of the milestones.
You can give each milestone a 1 day duration and then mark the task as a miletone on the activity form. By doing this "progress" should roll up to the summary bar.

Hi Asaf
When they are all set to 100% it will showw 100%.
The option in a milestone is either 0 or 100 and MSP cannot do sub percents in its summary.
PowerProject does add up completed milestones.
What sort of weird project are you working on anyway.
