I have a project where the planned tasks are spread over several weeks, see attached.
How is the summary % complete total calculated? Can I relate to %complete against project days?

The summary % Complete is an average of the children.
Can you explain in more detail what you mean by "Can I relate to %complete against project days"?
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your reply. From my example 44% complete implies 1.10 days completed in the project. However, project days x %complete gives 1.15. Is this correct? Because my project days are spread over a longer durations, what the best way to represent the %complete?
Regards Steve
That depends on the level of accuracy you are looking for. the 0.05 days difference relates to 1 hour and 12 minutes difference.
Also... What is the difference between the Project Days and the Duration?
I'm just struggling to figure out exactly how your process is working.
Project days are the days sold to the client for the delivery of a task. However, this may be spread over weeks which gives a longer duration in smartsheet, e.g. 18/08/19 to 28/08/19 gives 9d duration but the time spend on the project is 1 day spread over the 9d.
So could it also be said that the duration is 1 day with 8 days lag or lead time?
Hi Paul, that's correct. However, the nature of our construction projects is that 1 day is schedule over 2 weeks but we not sure when the work would actually be done so the plan shows the duration as 10 days against 1 project day. Regards Steve
You would need to be able to build in actual start and finish dates and run your % Complete off of those then.
Hi Paul, OK, thank you, regards Steve
Happy to help!
I have provisional users who, under the legacy model, were unlicensed users with editing permissions for workspaces. I’ve now changed their role to "viewers" and assigned editing permissions to specific workspaces, aiming to maintain the same editing experience as before.

I'm trying to figure out how to delete an inactive Smartsheet account so I can use that email address for another account. The account I'm trying to delete was a free account with no system admin, so there's no one to contact. The AI bot with the Help Center told me my only option was to use the Smartsheet Community.

Hi- We have been using a SmartSheet Form for a while, and users have been able to enter 000-000-0000 if they don't know a person's phone number. However, over the past few days, it appears that the phone number validation field will not allow all zeros any more. Is there a way that I can change this? We would like the…
