Dear friends,
I need to calculate the ""baseline"" and ""actual"" progress considering the weight factors of each activity.
I have used John Ward's formula (of course it does not include the weight farctor). But I also got 100% progress for each activity, even for those that have not been started yet.
can anyone help me with tis problem? and of course I need the formula to consider the weight factors as well...
Thank you so much in advance...

Thank you so much in advance...
Jon,
Still cant replicate your problem. Both formulae work fine in my test schedule.
Sent you a PM to discuss.

ah rubbish,, in my example the line after A should be much further to the right,, well past B,, sorry HTML autoformats for us,,
here is what im trying to show, if line A is my activity bar, and is at 0%,, B is my base line bar (the verticle line is my date line,, so from that you can tell that the activity A has slipped to the right from the planned date,, so, i know how is show the % comp,, what i would like to show is the Planned % Complete,, in the example below the Planned % should read about 35%,, i have tried entering the formual (pasted at the bottom) in a new column (#12) in the formula section after i righ click on customise, however this does not tell me the % im looking for, i may be doing something obviolsy incorrect,, i would very much appreciate anyones help with this,, i know i shouldnt say this but P3 (once a Target has been created) details the baseline % quiet simply,, is there a method to check the data date of the baseline?
A -----------
B ----|-------
IIf([Baseline Start]>[Status Date],0,IIf([Baseline Finish]<[Status Date],100,projdatediff([Status Date],[Baseline Start],IIf([Task Calendar]="None",[Project Calendar],[Task Calendar]))*100/projdatediff([Baseline Finish],[Baseline Start],IIf([Task Calendar]="None",[Project Calendar],[Task Calendar]))))
Hi!
My formula is useful when you have the following info :
Baseline start date
Baseline finish date
Current date/ Report date
From these 3 parameters , my formula calculates planned physical %.
If you have allocated a weighting / manhour to this activity you can get weighted progress / achieved manhour
This can be used for generating progress S-Curve, Productivity curve or EVM stuff

Jon,
Had another thought… have any of the activities moved to the right?
Any delays in the schedule will not affect the planned % complete because that’s calculated from the Baseline Start / Finish Dates.
In effect according to the baseline you should have completed the tasks so the Planned % Complete shows as 100%, but the activity hasn’t started yet so the % Complete shows 0%.

Jon,
Just tried the formula in post #1 and it works fine for me. Have you checked your baseline and / or status date?

Use this formula in excel .. not in MSP
replace Baseline_start ..etc by the respective cell numbers (H45, E35 ..etc)
Read this post for more details:

thanks Sreejith,
sorry to be thick but i keep getting an error on the code that reads Date_Now,, i have tried Status_Date,,
any ideas?
Yep , I would like to call myself an expert in this:
Here goes the formula :
Planned % =IF((100/(Baseline_Finish_date-Baseline_Start_date+1)*(Date_Now-Baseline_Start_date+1))<0,0,IF((100/(Baseline_Finish_date-Baseline_Start_date+1)*(Date_Now-Baseline_Start_date+1))>100,100,(100/(Baseline_Finish_date-Baseline_Start_date+1)*(Date_Now-Baseline_Start_date+1))))
I made this formula years back and still use deliberately in my trackers.(Excel based)
If you need more info , please gimme a shout.
