Tutorial on how to create a customized field like Baseline planned percent complete in Microsoft Project.
In MS Project there is no default field available to calculate the Planned % complete or the Baseline % completed. In this tutorial I will explain how to create a customized field to capture planned % complete to compare it against the actual % complete.
In this example I have used the Start date, Duration & Status date for the Planned percentage calculations. If you want to base your calculations based on the baselined version of the project then please change the Start to [Baseline Start] and Duration to [Baseline Duration].
All the formulas and details on how to create the baseline or planned % complete is available in my blog www.niksprojects.com/blog under Project Management tab.

hi, Can you tell me what does MS project base its planned value for the earned value over time report?

[@sandeepparekh3912]

hi Niks, It is very useful but i would like to ask you this planned percentage is automatically update by MSP ?, If i will update project after one month the again i have to do this exercise ?, if my project is big and i used all number column our column is few so in this case how we make new column ?

thanks, it works. but how to get all planned summaries like top column of %Column?

[@AhmedOHafiz]

Hello Nik and thanks for the video, the formula you shared for % planned complete is working well for me, my issue now is that even when i match the % complete to that of the % planned complete for the sub tasks, my overall performance for the task is lagging. is it the right thing to do to compare % complete (manually entered and calculated via (Actual Duration/Duration)*100 Vs % planned complete that is calculated via (Elapsed Duration/Duration)*100

[@nehapalan4450]

this works perfectly fine at task level. i do have a big project where i have multiple task summary. This is where the calculation does not match. How do i get the Planned % complete similar to actual % complete for task summary (the task which has multiple indented task)

[@sukeerthreddy564]

Hi.. The formula for elapsed days in step 2 takes even the weekends into consideration. To exclude weekends and include only the number of working days, you can work around the formula this way below: IIf(DateDiff("d",Start,[Status Date])>=Val(ProjDurConv(Duration,pjDays)),Val(ProjDurConv(Duration,pjDays)),IIf(DateDiff("d",Start,[Status Date])

[@mohamedabdelaziz4489]

i used your formula but i didn't work can you please explain to me from where u got the no 480 please

[@a14266]

[@drsheikh]

Hey Nick, your channel and intention is greatly appreciated. However it would help if we had a zoomed in version of your screen as it is extremely difficult to read whats on your screen. Next it would help if you actually narrate what you are clicking on. Like for example at 3:05 you say "..I have to go here and.." It becomes difficult to follow. Good intentions though.

Hi Niks! Have experienced problems when applying Planned % Complete to Milstone tasks.Get "Error".Any good explanation?

[@1987Petar]

For me, much easier is to enter a new Number column (named, lets say, Planned Completion) with formula IIf([Status Date]>[Baseline Finish];1;IIf([Baseline Start]>[Status Date];0;([Status Date] - [Baseline Start])/([Baseline Finish] - [Baseline Start]))) and after that add Text column as Nick described, to turn numbers in %. In this was solving problem with the Milestones and also with updating Project.

Thanks Nik for this formula... I made some experiments to my project, i found out few things. Refer below: 1. IF The actual finish date is earlier than the BL finish date: The plan % Complete for that activity will change to >100% for the activity. (I set the % Complete = 100%). 2. IF The actual finish date is later than the BL finish date: The plan % Complete for that activity will change to

[@kingfisheraja]

This formula looks great. However it gives me error when i set up my status date day after the project started. Due to this my planned percent is error as well. How do i fix this? My project started few weeks back. Thanks

[@ernesthemingway667]

I have tried the formulas as stated, and I still have an issue. Duration in Days is equal to the Elapsed Days, even for tasks that are not completed and are past the status date. If I use the Project>Status tab>Update project button I get the correct values. I would like to created the same functionality all my projects in project server 2013.

Hi. Niks. Could I ask the question that my project is ongoing and overtime from baseline but the % planned project as used the formula from this video is still same with last month? Example: the task should complete on 14-Apr-20 then the % of plan on 31 Mar is 83%. The % of planned also same in 83% on 30 April. is it wrongly setting in baseline? Thank you

[@niksprojects]

I am not sure if I got it correctly but please see if you have set the status date correctly under the project information tab

Hi Niks, Thanks for your great formula! But there is one problem arose when I apply your formula to my MS Project. The percentage only shows in the lowest level of tasks and there are no average/accumulate percentage shown in upper tasks. What can I do to show the percentage complete of upper task in order for me to compare the overall ahead/delay of % complete?

Hi Niks, thanks a lot for your amazing trick, based on your instruction I have Planned percent, but in last column when I used this formula: Format(Number3, “0%”) it gave me an error in Planned % Complete, can you help me in this regards.

[@niksprojects]

I am not sure what is the issue. If you can mail me a sample project to [e-mail] I will take a look.

[@niksprojects]

Also if you are getting error on the Format(Number3, "0%") when you copy pasted the above formula from this page, all you have to do is delete everything after Number3, and then retype 0% within double quotes. It will take it.

Hi. I can't get this to work. If I use the formula on your blog which is different from the video, then it shows me the planned percentage for a task that was meant to finish 3 days ago should be 10%.

[@personalmind]

Hi Niks, just a point... how do you consider the non-working days? If I've got a task of 10 days as duration starting from 3/11/2014 and finish on 14/11/2014, let suppose to have a status date on 13/11/2014.. with your formula there's a wrong comparison because it will consider the activity with an 100% of schedule % complete which is wrong.. "13/11/2014 - 03/11/2014 = 10 days ; 10 days equal to duration -> elapsed days = 10 -> 100% schedule % complete.." I fpund fantastic your idea (i'm a primavera user), but this calculation doesn't consider the non-working days so i always have a wrong % of schedule complete.... another example... task A 2 DAYS As duration starting on Friday and finish on Mondays, so for example Start 2 April Finish 5 April status date 4 April 4 April - 2 April = 2 days -> Equal to duration -> Elapsed days = 2 -> 100% schedule complete -> FALSE Best regards Nicola

[@niksprojects]

Hi Personalmind, Non-Working days is included in the calculation because the function I used is DateDiff which use the calendar dates including Saturday and Sunday. You can modify the formula to replace DateDiff with ProjDateDiff function. This will calculate only the working days based on your project calendar and it will resolve the issue. I will update my blog with the updated formula please refer www.niksprojects.com/blog - Hope this helps. (Note: ProjDateDiff formula returns the difference in minutes so you have to divide it by 480 (480 minutes in a 8 hr working day) to arrive at ellapsed days) Please refer the formula below. Updated Formula: IIf(ProjDateDiff(Start,[Status Date])/480>=Val(ProjDurConv([Baseline Duration],pjDays)),Val(ProjDurConv([Baseline Duration],pjDays)),IIf(DateDiff("d",[Baseline Start],[Status Date])

[@anony449]

Hi Nik - At times, I am having an issue with the Elapsed Days, where it does not pick up the re-baselined duration. Can you please help?

[@anony449]

FYI, I have re-baselined the project with a new set of dates.

[@niksprojects]

Did it work after re-baselining?

[@niksprojects]

Because MS Project saves each baseline and in the formula (2nd step) we are using Baseline dates, I wonder if you could reset the baseline first make the date changes and then baseline and see if that helps

[@anony449]

​@@niksprojects That's right. I have baselined this schedule multiple times and this time it was using my Baseline9 dates. I went back to my previous version with Baseline8 dates, did the date changes again and baselined the schedule using Baseline9 but the issue persists. The issue is the Actual % is 100 % but the Planned % still shows 81% due to the Elapsed Days. The Elapsed Days is lesser than the task duration and not picking up the duration of the completed task.

[@niksprojects]

Ok I will take a look at it this weekend

[@andychurch5457]

Hi Nik, I entered all the formulae for a new project and it worked...thanks! However, I have an issue if I insert a new task. The duration in days seems to work correctly but the other two formulae simply return zeros (0's). I've tried to check it's working by inserting a parallel task to one that works (nothing different) and I expect to see the same data in each task...but no...just zeros. Any ideas?

[@TLYRIDER]

Andy Church hi (this is my other channel) . Did you try resetting the baseline?

[@TLYRIDER]

Andy Church I have to check but I believe I used baseline dates in the formula so when you insert a new task then you will have to rebaseline your project

Hi Nik, Many thanks!...it worked! I knew it would be something dumb I was/wasn't doing! :)

[@niksprojects]

Hi Vahan, Microsoft Project is widely used to track and monitor large scale projects which has multiple activities performed over long duration. Based on your description below it looks like you need some thing like an online inventory/service management software rather than Microsoft project which more apt for schedule & budget tracking. You can track your cars and employees using Microsoft excel that would be the less cost effective way. But I would recommend a online tool which can look at the available cars and employees and assign them immediately based on your customer bookings. Also if the software is an online tool then employee can update from anywhere irrespective of office location. Try this link - www.limoanywhere.com
