In the Open Standard

I have updatd an MSP schedule with progress and would like the activity bars to be shaded to indicate the progess. For instance if an activity is 50% complete and I input the data into the "Physical % Complete" comlumn, I would like that activity bar on the gantt chart to be shaded 50% to indicate the progress.

Could you help me please?

    Jaime,
    Use the % complete to progress your bar instead of Physical %.
    Right click then select task information then under General Tab enter Percent Complete or Select Header Column then right click, select insert column then under field name select % complete. Once the % complete column is visible enter your progress.

    Rodel,

    Another quick query!

    I followed the steps for the progressing and it works fine! but tasks that are at 100% complete, do not have any shading and continue to be displayed the same! can you tell me how i will have the full activity bar shaded completely when at 100%?

    Thanks

    Jaime,
    As long as you progress your activity using % complete then even 100% should be doing the same. See sample below

    Trevor,
    I did not include status date as it mean to show the progress on bar and also not run the schedule to move all non-started and in progress activities to status date.
