Calculate Hours

[Michael]

Hi,
I would like to do the following:
Have a column where I enter in a beginning set of hours, then have a second
column where I record the actual work and then have a third column that shows
the differential between the baseline hours and the actual hours.

I was using Baseline Work 1 and Baseline Work 2 to record the hours, but I
can't figure out how to get the third column to calculate based on those two
columns even though I've added a formula. Is there a better way to do this?
Thank you!

Michael

Hello Michael,

If you used Baseline Work to capture the "beginning set of hours" and
Actual Work to capture actual work, Project will calculate Work
Variance for you.

Take a look at the Work table -- it already has all three fields.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
