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.



Regards,



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,



Cost load your schedule. Percent complete and costs (both planned and earned) are automatically shown after cost-loading the schedule.



Best regards,
