Break link between Remaining duration and percent complete

Could someone give me the process in MSP that breaks the link between remaining durations and percent complete (like is done in P6)?

 

Thanks,

% Complete is based on duration. Therefore, any adjustments to remaining duration will adjust the %Complete. This is logical as %Complete = Current Duration/(Current Duration + Remaining Duration)*100. Current Duration = Overall Duration x %Complete. The easiest way round this is to define tasks as fixed work. Then update the %Work Complete when updating tasks. It is then possible to update the remaining duration without impacting the %Work Complete. In this situation, when updating the schedule, the remaining work is spread across the remaining duration. Hope that helps?
