PRJ: % Complete Not Correct for Task w/ Multiple Resources (170704)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Project 2000
- Microsoft Project 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q170704 SYMPTOMS
When you assign actual hours of work to an assignment, the Percent Complete
for the current time period is not updated correctly.
CAUSE
Microsoft Project bases the Percent Complete on the minimum of the
assignment stop dates. Therefore, it appears to calculate the Percent
Complete incorrectly until all assignments in the same time period have
been assigned an Actual Work value.
NOTE: When you enter Actual Work values for an assignment on the first day of a task, the Percent Complete column will calculate correctly and you will not have to enter Actual Work for all assignments in that time period.
WORKAROUND
To correctly show the Percent Complete for a given day of a task, make sure
that you enter Actual Work values for all assignments on that day.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft
Project listed above.
