% Complete difference

In the Open Standard

In my schedule, the % Complete weighting is based on Cost(Tools>Option>Summarisation) and when I run the schedule it shows 50% Complete. But when I read the Scheduling Report produced in Primavera Look, it showed 48.9% complete.

Interesting, if I change the % Complete weighting to Duration, my schedule shows 49% which tallies with Primavera Look Report’s 48.9%.

How can I get the Scheduling Report generated in Primavera Look to also calculate & display % Complete based on Cost like my schedule?

    The help file states that the Schedule report is summarized using the options selected in Tools, Schedule, Options, Summarization, so in theory you are doing the correct thing.

    I have found in the past to make one report run correctly I had to recalculate twice! I do not recall which.

    You may wish to take this issue up with Primavera technical support, but I feel you are doing the correct thing.

    You may wish to create a new schedule with say two or three activities, where it would be simple to calculate the results by manually, and check if the report still runs incorrectly.

    Thanks the replies but my question is all about the Schedule Command Report.

    I’d like the Schedule Command Report % Complete to be same with the Project % Complete displayed on the % column when % complete weighting is based on cost and not duration.

    For now, I’m disregarding it like Dgd suggested but I’m a bit curious about this.
