Not all "Actual" bar show in gantt chart

IPC

Hi,

Some of the tasks/sub-activities in my gantt chart do not show the "actual" bar even there is a reported progress (e.g. below activity with 25% progress).

I'd appreciate any advise.

@Andrée Starå @Genevieve P. perhaps you can assist?

Thanks

Hi @IPC

Percentage progress bars won't show in a Report - you'll need to view this in the underlying sheet to see the progress, as you've found.

This bar is spanning from around April 20th to past May 14th. Do you have dates set on these items? If you have 25%, but the work wasn't done until like May 20th, it might not show. I think we need to see a bit more information from your sheet to be able to help.

Hi @Kleerfyre

Thanks for your reply.

Here is another example where the "% of complete" does not reflect as a bar in the gantt chart.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards,

Do you potentially have a critical path set up? Check your properties on that task. Is there any dependencies on this task?

IPC

@Kleerfyre none. they are independent tasks.

That is quite odd. So you could try deleting the row then re-entering it and see if that fixes the issue. You could also look in the logs of the sheet to see if you see anything there as well.

hi @Kleerfyre

I have figured it out. in the Project Settings, the %Completed Column setting was point to another column. (Figure 1)

As you can see here, it now shows the "actual" bar on top of the "Planned". Now I have another related inquiry.

Figure 1: Grid Sheet

Why is it that when I use the same as "report" in the dashboard, it doesn't show the "actual" bars?

Any idea?
