Gantt Chart - Percentage Complete

Harry Karandeinos

Hi,

I'm new in Smartsheet coming from the MS Project world.

I'm trying to include the % of task completion in a gantt chart.

I'm filling in the % complete column but nothing appears on the gannt chart (contrary to what is described in https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/765737-project-sheet-columns-start-date-end-date-duration-complete-and-predecessors)

I noticed that in Project Settings, the pull down menu for '% Complete Column' does not include the '% Complete' option (contrary to what is again ilustrated in https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/765737-project-sheet-columns-start-date-end-date-duration-complete-and-predecessors)

Have I messed with any of the settings?

Thank you,

Harry

Hi @Harry Karandeinos

I hope you're well and safe!

Can you maybe share some screenshots of your settings and sheet? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Did you create the percentage complete column yourself?

If so, is it formatted as a % column using the % button in the toolbar?

Please find attached screenshots of:

• the '% complete' column and its settings (it is formatted as % - the button on the toolbar is pressed)
• the project settings - showing the available options in the pul down mnu

Strange!

I'd be happy to take a quick look.

Can you maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s)? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

Hello @Harry Karandeinos , were you ever able to accomplish this? I'd also like to add the percentage completed on the Gantt chart.

Thanks,

Hi

I am curious to the same. The % complete is not showing on my Gantt either but would like it to do so.

Here is a quick video demonstrating the creation of the percent complete column based on a brand new sheet and converting it to GANNT. You have to remember that when a column is tied to percentages it works of part of a whole number... .1 is 10%.

Did my video help either of you?
