I’m looking to display the percentage of an activity that is complete below the actual activity bar, don’t really know if this is possible? I have looked into Formatting of Bars, I can display the percentage complete within the bar itself, I wondered if P3 had a method of displaying this figure in a bar without adding another Activity?
Does this make any sense?

i.e
--------------- activity bar
------- (50%) progress of activity for the above activity

    As earlier suggested you can use the log record, however the shortcoming of this method is that you will have to manually enter the percentage complete in the log record for each activity every time you update your schedule.

    The best alternative is to format the bar labeling to display the percentage complete against the bar. This method is automatic i.e. you do not need to enter the percentage complete manually each time your schedule is updated.

    To do this go to ’Format’ select ’Bars’ (in the window make sure the early bar is selected i.e the bar that displays your progress) click on ’Modify’ select ’Label’. Here you choose the position to display the percentage complete (since you want it at the bottom you can choose from ’Bottom’, ’Bottom left’, ’Bottom right’)under ’Data’ select ’Percentage complete’. You would also the sample of the data to be displayed at the end in a window provided.

    Hope this meets your requirements. Please get back to me if otherwise.
