MSP

Have found progress line fails to pick up progress in advance of status date, although works for progress on status or behind. Help please!

RE: MSP

Dear Stephen

Thank you for your question

Progress lines usually are based on a tasks cumulative percentage completion up to the specified point, in your case the status date.

I suggest that first you set the percent complete spreads to the status date. To do this click on Tools-Options-Calculation and then click on

the Edits to total task % complete will be spread to the status date tickbox

Hopefully, this will set the progress line up correctly. If you still have problems please let me know, so we can explore other possibilities

Regards

Stephen
