Arun.V - 0APArnold Puy ·Hi Arun,
What type of % complete that your Manager ask you? When you trying to present your % complete, it is based on what?
1. Duration (Time)
2. Units (Quantity or any resources you assign to your activities)
3. Physical - User’s manually input or based on activity steps.

Arnold
- 0APArnold Puy ·Hi Arun,
As I have mentioned in my previous post #7, you cannot find the % complete in schedule log of P6 as what you can see in P3.
If you wish to check the log, go to Tools --> Schedule, select "View Log". Make sure you tick the "Log to file" and locate the SchedLog.txt

Arnold
- 0APAnbin Ponnith ·Dear Arun,
Also how is your client expecting, Duration based % complete or cost based % complete.
I guess you are aware how P3 calculates the Percentage complete displayed in the Schedule log.
If you need the same %complete you can try it using global change.
With Thanks & Regards,

Arnold is right. Actual Values (%) depends on how you will monitor the project. It may be based on cost, material, manpower. About the automatic scheduling, when you run the update progress in P6, it will automatically update all your resources depending on the schedule to get planned %, just like in P3, but it is a long process if you will need the planned % for each month. It is better to assign baseline, then get all planned % for each resources by report writer in P6 either monthly or weekly and fix it in excel. Then just add the actual percentage on every update.
Hope this will help in your planning

1) % Complete in P3 (also in Sched Log) = Duration % Complete in P6
2) Autocost Rules "link/unlink remaining duration and schedule % complete in P3 = Physical % Complete in P6
Mustafa,
You have to cost-load your programme in order to roll-up the Schedule % Complete in P5.
Best regards,
R. Catalan - 0SSSitaram Sakamuri ·why are we unable to get the schedule % complete on the summary bars. Though the project is completed by 25%, the top summary bar is still showing 0 %complete while the activities are showing correctly. How to rectify it and is there a way to find the summarised % complete just like in P3. If not in P6, is there any way that can be done in excel (means to compute the planned % at various stages of the project). Do reply immediately
- 0DKDavid Kelly ·Schedule percent complete is based on money at the summary bar level. It will only display a value if:
The activities have resources
Those resources have a unit price.
For those environments that do not use P6 for costing, set all the resources to the same price (e.g. $1.00) and then you will have a percent complete. that matches P3’s summarisation by resource. REmember Schedule % complete is from the baseline (we used to call it "planned percent complete") - 0RCR. Catalan ·Sitaram,
If your programme is not resource-loaded, you can still show the roll-up summary of Schedule % Complete by assigning expenses to your activities.
And, with the assigned expenses you can do variance analysis by cost (Performance % Complete). But you still have to do tracking your programme by CPM (variance in days) to have the real picture of the current update.

R. Catalan
