Sir JC, is your formula the same as getting the weighted percentage per scope of work with the formula "total cost of the certain scope divided by the total cost of the project?" Thanks in advance for your response!
@salt1093Ай бұрын
Hi JC - I have one error in the Baseline Duration Total column at a task which was added after the baseline was set. I am currently on baseline 5. The project currently has 2208 activity lines. Some have been deleted (removed from scope) and this specific one task added - which is showing the error. Baseline Days Completed shows a number (411). The 'Planned Completion Value' column also shows an error - I assume this is due to the error in the 'Baseline Duration Total' column. Can you please help me resolve this, is there a way?
@ozlembugan17842 ай бұрын
Hi again :) I wanna ask that; Can we show these columns (% planned and % complete) in a S-chart to compare them?
@JCleRouxxАй бұрын
Yes you can but it takes a bit of work. You would need to shift your timenow date through the months of the project and then export those monthly planned % values to Excel.

Hi JC, great video! Will definitely adjust my calculation. But have you ever taken your calculation and added a weighting factor? I need to weight the schedule based on cost as some tasks duration doent justify the overall weighting against the project. PLEASE I require your help

Hi JC. Thanks for the tutorial. I tried to apply this on my project and I encountered an error. MS project doesn't allow me to write the part 0,0.01, which is in formula below. It says "The formula contains a syntax error or contains a reference to an unrecognized field or function name." What else can I use? IIf([Duration]=0,0.01,ProjDateDiff([Baseline Estimated Start],[Baseline Estimated Finish])/60/8)

Hi JC, Thank you so much for sharing this and it is very helpful. I'm taking the planned percentage by updating the baseline program to the status date and then pasting it as text into the updated project file. I've tried to apply your advice, but the manually calculated planned value I derived by updating the baseline program to the status date differs from the calculated value you taught me. For example, my manually calculated percentage is 39%, but when I use the calculation method you provided, it becomes 42%. Do you have any guesses about what might be going wrong?
@JCleRouxx2 ай бұрын
Difficult one, there could be various reasons. Perhaps in the way you update the baseline programme. Do you use % complete or remaining duration in your update?

True! 😅 However, the formula can be saved and applied to all projects and therefore you have a quick way of comparing planned vs actual without having to cost load your schedule each time.

Yes, you need the baseline as part of the formula to indicate the planned value. So if you add tasks, you have to baseline again before you obtain the planned % value.

Is there any trick to assign the project manager (PM) to the entire project without causing overallocations?
