Updating the Summary Task Percent Complete
Updating the Summary Task Percent Complete
(OP)
I am using MS Project 2007 and am having trouble updating the summary task bar for the project to accurately reflect the percent complete. When I update the individual tasks' percent complete, it does not appear to roll up to the summary task correctly.
Has anyone else had this issue?
I don't recall having this problem with the previous version of MS Project.
Thanks-

RE: Updating the Summary Task Percent Complete
All the subtasks have durations that end before or up to 5/20 and my project has a completion date of 9/26. Once I set the subtasks to 100% (for the most part), the overall summary task bar is now showing 71% complete through 7/25.
So I'm not clear on how the summary task bar calculates the overall percent complete for the project. As a note, I have only provided percent complete for roughly the first 70 lines of a 230 line schedule.
RE: Updating the Summary Task Percent Complete
The summary %complete is the ratio of the sum of the durations of the completed tasks divided by the sum of all the durations.

RE: Updating the Summary Task Percent Complete
If I update the percent complete on all subtasks completed to date, the summary task shows complete through 9/9/08 (91%) which is obviously not accurate since I have a little over 2 months left of tasking.
