Physical % Complete Summary Rollup
in [Project]

From: MartinSmith on 29 Apr 2008 13:11 Hi Jim, Excuse me piggy backing this query. I am working towards a solution for showing %complete on a group by outline view. From what you have written I need to set EV Method = Physical % Complete. I have done this by selecting all tasks and setting Physical % Complete. However it does not seem to have reset EV Method on Summary tasks which remains stubbornly at % Complete. Any tips on how to achieve the desired setting.

From: JulieS on 4 May 2008 10:37 Hello Martin, Did you also change the Default task earned value method in Tools > Options, Calculation tab, Earned Value button? I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
