Incorrect Duration % Complete value at WBS level

In the Open Standard

Hi P6 experts,
 
I am looking at Duration % Complete column and noticed that the activity with lowest Duration % Complete, its Duration % shows at the WBS level.  It seems that at WBS level, the software isn't calculating the correct Duration  % Complete, rather just showing Duration % of the activity that has lowest Duration % value
 
Can someone advise on how to get correct Duration % value at the WBS level?
 
Thanks

    That is correct.HoweverThe

    That is correct.

    However

    The Performance % complete is used to compute earned value and may be based on the Activity% Complete, on the 0/100 rule, on the 50/50 rule which depends on the technique for computing earned-value percent complete for the activity's WBS. The Performance % Complete specifies what percentage of, the activities planned worth has been earned so far

    Summary Performance percent complete when displayed on an organize band, will ALWAYS be calculated as (BCWP • 100) I BAC, regardless of what earned value technique is selected for the activity's WBS.

     
    You could create a LOE activity that spans from the 1st activity (SS) in that wbs to the last actvitiy (FF) in that wbs and look at it that way. The the duration % complete would then be correct beciase it is considering the entire tiem frame not just individual activities.
     
    The other thing to do is to create a new activity and give the ACTIVITY TYPE AS WBS SUMMARY AND IT WILL DO THE SAME THINGS AS A LOE type of activitiy.

    Duration % Complete = percent

    Duration % Complete = percent complete of the activity duration.

    Formula = (Original Duration - Remaining Duration)/Original Duration * 100.

    Note: Original Duration is taken from the current plan, not from the baseline.
