Hi, which formula can I use to calculate the expected Progress (depending on the current date)?
Thanks
Could you give more details and share some screenshots?
Hi Paul,
I have the Start Date, End Date, Duration (days) and the Progress given by each responsible. From this Information I would like to calculate the expected Progress, how shall the Project must be going on an specific date.
For example:
I have a Task with 10 days as Duration. by the second day the Progress completed is 20% (that means is running accordingly to plan) and by the third day, the Progress is the same. That means that by the third day the Project has already a delay.
So I would like to know which formula can I use to find out this expected or planned Progress and then I can be able to make a comparison against Progress completed and create alerts if neccesary.
Thanks.
If you create a [Projected % Complete] column, you can enter this formula into it...
=(TODAY() - [Start Date]@row) / ([Scheduled End Date]@row- [Start Date]@row)
This will give you how far into the scheduled time you are for whatever today's date is. You can then build your alerts off of whether your actual % complete is less than, greater than, or equal to where you should be (projected % complete).
To show the projected finish date based off of the current progress and the start date, create a date type column [Projected End Date] and insert this formula...
=[Start Date]@row+ ((((TODAY() - [Start Date]@row) / ([Scheduled End Date]@row - [Start Date]@row)) - [Actual % Complete]@row) * ([Scheduled End Date]@row - [Start Date]@row)) + ([Scheduled End Date]@row - [Start Date]@row)
Thank you!
I have a similar request: I would like to see how the projected end date of a task will impact the overall projected end date of the project taking the predecessor relationships into account. Any ideas on how to do that with a function or in a dashboard?
Hi all, and thanks in advance! I wanted to know if there was any way to create "padding" in Smartsheet. Basically I have account numbers, and a handful are still 2-digit, so they appear as TDL-17, TDL-67, etc. Most of the accounts are 3-digit numbers like TDL-180. I want something that will recognize whether it is 2 or 3…
I'm wondering if anyone has worked out a dynamic formula to return the date of the 'next' Thursday of the month. I have a worksheet where I need to send out a reminder to a contacts in a contact column in the worksheet each Thursday of the current month if a criteria has not been met. When criteria has been met, then…
Hello, I have the formula to check a box for line items with the current month. =IF(AND(YEAR(Date@row ) = YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(Date@row ) = MONTH(TODAY())), 1, 0) Trying to set up a report for all items with the previous month (i.e. 1 month prior to current). How can I modify to check the box?
