Dear Mr Ahmed,
I belive you are using P3. There is no way to subtotal a custom defined value as a weight in a project.
My humble suggestion will be:
-Add cost % as resources with a proce as "1"
-Add a custom data item for % also.
-Use Global Change for transferring value from resource to custom data item.
-Use "Resource/Cost Percent Complete" as a column in the layout in order to have correct subtotal values of % in group or project totals.
Please be carefull about decimal restrictions of P3 (1 decimal for % but 2 decimals for "Custom data items - precision" or "resources". SO it will be healthy to use only 1 decimal in resource (or use resource as will sum up 1 million units ).
You can create more accurate reports in Tools-Graphic Reports-... but i dont believe it is a good manhour waste in order to get layouts that are visually crap and requires so much attention.

Safak
Dear Mr. R. Catalan,
Really gr8ful for ur advice & time.
This option I already know I just want to do the same by using the user-defined fields for many other calculations. I have been able to do so but I am not getting the summary at the top as the system is giving simply the addition of all the values under the perticular head.
I will really appreciate if someone could provide me with the solution.
Thanks
Ahmed
Ahmed,
Cost load your schedule. Percent complete and costs (both planned and earned) are automatically shown after cost-loading the schedule.
Best regards,
R. Catalan
