you are the love of my life!! you explained this really easy and slow. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you sooooo much! 🥰
🤣 Great to hear. You'll have to get past my wife first though!
Thank you so much you saved my life !!!! I subscribed to your channel .
For those who found the problem of the appearance of zero (0) for all values, you must check that you saved baseline of your project.
That's great news! Thanks for the additional tip.
Wow Thanks JC this really worked, ive been strugling
Aah Morgan, great news. I've also had my fair share of struggling with this %-complete column.
Great! it solved my problem in a big project!
Awesome!
Thank you. the video was great.
Thanks man! So happy you found it valuable.
Export the Azure, Chat GPT, Revit, Plant 3D, Civil 3D, Inventor, ENGI file of the Building or Refinery to Excel, prepare Budget 1 and export it to COBRA. Prepare Budget 2 and export it to Microsoft Project. Solve the problems of Overallocated Resources, Planning Problems, prepare the Budget 3 with which the construction of the Building or the Refinery is going to be quoted.
Thanks JC.
for clarity, I saw you sped through the part where you'd have to baseline the newly added tasks. would that baseline activity have to be done every single time a new task is added?
Hi JC, I am JC as well. I really liked the tutorial on the correct way to show Planned %. I do have a question, does MS Project have Labor Units? I have not seen this
Hi JC! . MS Project can only show labor units in "manhours". You can certainly export the data and then convert it if you like.
Thanks so much for sharing. a question for you: is there a way to show this as either an "S-curve" within the report tab, or within task usage?
Hi JC, still interested in this topic. is it possible to see within task usage? because while it is possible to see at at a status data, what was planned, key stakeholders would want to know what that curve would look like. any help would be appreciated
Hello JC; I watched your video about the pROJECT, i want ask you how you make the sheet with dependencies and delayed shecedule,
Hi Susu. You can simply add those fields in your view to have the same sheet. To do the update requires a more complex process which is a bit cumbersome to explain here. Have a look at our other videos or consider the course where this is explained in detailed, step-by-step.
Please how can have access to the software I'm interested
Sir nice explained. However formulas used in customised columns could not be seen. Will u provide the formulas
You can find the formulas here - lerouxconsulting.com/ms-project-for-construction-articles-and-resources/creating-a-planned-percentage-complete-field-in-microsoft-project
Thank you Kobus! Almost all of my headings and tasks calculates the % planned perfectly except a few Headings that shows ERRORS. Any advice?
Did you set the baseline?
@@user-em5kq8rm6w That helped! Thank you!
I faced the same issue and after few hours noted that those Task lines added to schedule after setting the Baseline. maybe this is your issue as well?
Hi! I have a question. Is there any way to change the actual status date? in order to open the project and have the time to create a report with the status of one week ago for example.
You will have to set the status date on the Project tab each time.
Hi JC, Thank you for this video.
I am facing a challenge here.
I followed all the steps but I am getting 100% for all activities including the ones yet to start.
What could be the problem?
I think I've found what the problem is.
I hadn't set my status date.
Thank you
is we have column name baseline estimated start and finish date or we have to use baselinestart and finish date
Use the Baseline Estimated Start and Baseline Estimated Finish in the formula. These are standard fields in MSP already.
Hi, thank you for this tutorial. I tried following the steps, but some of the tasks are #ERROR. Is this caused by the duration, as some of my tasks are in weeks and months. Can you help? Thank you.
I faced the same issue and after few hours noted that those Task lines added to schedule after setting the Baseline. maybe this is your issue as well?
Hi, can i get some help.
Actually i just need to show my target % vs actual %
I've been searching 100 videos, and none have done so. is microsoft project unable to do such simple task? im abit frustrated
Very interested.. Can we get the formula that you used
You can find the formula here - bit.ly/3KxKyI2
Awesome vid ! Only problem is that I keep getting a syntax error when using your formula .. I even tried to "retype" the highlighted error but to no avail :(
Any advice ?
Hi Eugene, difficult to tell without looking at the input. It may just be a misplaced space or bracket causing the issue?
@@JCleRouxx I was very careful to follow the exact sintex and spacing but still doesn't work
Hi, I face an issue we are behind schedule and the summary task shows we are ahead, that incorrect. so I follow the same as you did but I got an error in the summary task. how can I fix that? thanks in advance!
Hi Shahad. There can be many reasons for this. It could be that some of the tasks below the summary task is not included in Baseline, or that a Baseline does not exist for certain tasks. Also check that the status date is correctly set, check for any manual schedule tasks.
@@JCleRouxx can you please help me with that I tried to fix the issues for 2 months if you can give me your email so we can discuss these issues it will be much appreciated! this task Is much important to me
Hi, when I followed up on the steps, I got 1 for all activities in the Updated % planned? so the planned percentages change to 100% based on the Updated % planned column those are issues I face now .. can you help with that?
The deeper you get into the subtasks, the less accurate it becomes. Level 1 +- 1%, level 2 from %1 to 2%, level 3 up to 3%. i use the formula set at your link page. did i set something wrong?
Interesting. The formula gives me solid accuracy even in lower levels. Just double check if you've set the summary settings correctly?
Faaaaaanks !!
You're weeeeelcome! 😊😊
Your starting assumption is wrong. % complete in msp means ( % planned complete) and we have to customise formula for % actual complete
Not sure what you base this on. % complete is only populated once you start adding actual values to the schedule.
@@JCleRouxx correct, my mistake
