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?
Is there a trick to creating a column of unique values for each row that will not change after it is created? I cannot use Auto-ID because the row then gets copied to another sheet that utilizes Auto-ID and Smartsheet limits that. I'm stuck and ChatGPT keeps making recommendations that don't work.
I have a sheet that has all of our orders on it. I have other sheets "Gantt" for each machine. I want each machine sheet to auto populate every order that is assigned to it, when an order gets assigned to the machine. I don't want to set an automation to copy the row from the orders sheet to the machine sheet because I…
Hi Community Facing a problem many others have posted about, but haven't seen a solution yet and wondered if it had been solved. I want to be able to add a row on a resource sheet for each project resource once a project has been set to 'X' on a Projects sheet. I have tried through automations but the daisy-chain limit…
