Project Management course

% Complete changes to 100% when I type in 75%

I have a few sub tasks that when I try to update the % Complete field to 50% or more it automatically changes to 100%.

It will let me change to 25% but when I update to 50% or 75% it automatically changes to 100%

I have tried updating in the Update Task box but the same thing happens. I have also been in the Update Project box and ensured it is set for updates between 0% and 100%

The majority of tasks update correctly, so I can't explain why a few of them won't.

Please can you help.

Hi Nicola,

Thank you for the Project.

I believe your problem is that fact you are using Start to Finish relationships rather than Finish to Start relationships.

So perhas a fix you could try is to take a copy of the project and change the relationships from SF to FS.

Are the tasks in the logical order they should happen?

Regards

Simon

Ms project tip:

Autofit column width – Project (all versions)

a. Highlight the column or columns you wish to alter the width of.
b. Double click the dividing line between the columns. This dividing line is the break between the columns on the column headers (grey buttons showing the column letter at the top of each column). When you hover your mouse over one of these dividing lines the point will change and show an arrow pulling a line in two directions. When you have this mouse pointer you should double click to get Project to automatically set the column width to fit the contents of the column (autofit)
