Dear,

Does the Finish Variance in the Project Overview is compared between with the Finish and the most latest Baseline or the 1st baseline?

    Dear Gary,

    The variance is between any two schedules that you select.

    With kind regards,

    Gary & Samer,
    it is not possible in MS Project to select a specific baseline as the "default baseline" against which MSP would compare "Actual" to calculate a Variance.
    Project overview’s Variance is always calculated between Actual Start / Finish and Baseline Start / Finish; where "Baseline" stands for "Initial Baseline" with no number (i.e. <> "Baseline1", ...
    if you want to save a 2nd baseline and have it used in the Variance, you will have to save "Baseline" as "Baseline1" first, then save the current project as "Initial Baseline (no number)" again

    MSP variance is ok.

    we can use formula to calculate variance to our requirements(whatever may be the baseline).
