Is the Schedule % Complete equal to Planned % Comp in P3?
In P3 to get the Planned % Comp, I usually press CNTL F9, DATA DATE same as in the update.
In P3, when you assign target 1 and target 2, the column description will show, say, target 1 early start, target 2 early start, etc. In P6, I assign primary, secondary, but I cannot distinguish which is which
To put in in tabular form :
P3 vs P6
Update File Update File
Target 1 BL or BL1 or primary?
Target 2 BL1 or BL2 or secondary?
% Comp(For Update File) Activity % Comp?
% Comp (For Target 2) Schedule % Comp?
Target 1 Early Start BL Project Start?
Target 2 Early Start BL 1 Early Start?
To get Planned % Comp?
In P3-CNTRL F9 + CURRENT DATA DATE,
In P6 ?
Thanks again
Hi Florante,
Arnold is right.
Assuming that youve already assigned a baseline on your programme, this is the simple steps to display them:
1) Click View then Columns
2) Expand Dates option, then select to display the following:
- BL Project Start
- BL Project Finish
- Start
- Finish
3) Expand Percent Complete, then select to display the following:
- Schedule % Complete
- Activity % Complete
4) For Variance Analysis (Finish Dates / Duration), expand Duration, then select to display the following:
- Variance - BL Project Finish Date
5) Create a UDF and do Global Change for Variance % Complete

Go To Project -> Maintain Baseline for adding all baselines
and then Go To Project -> Assign Baseline to add, User, Primary, Secondary or tertiary baselines.
Cheers,
Hi Florante,
With P6, you dont need to create a Target 2 schedule because, there is already available Schedule % Complete, when you assign a Target 1 schedule.
