Hours Variance

[Michelle]

Hello,
I am trying to create colums within the task sheet to reflect Estimated
Hours of work to complete a task, Actual Hours it took to complete the task
(where the variance would be hours that the resource now has free, or hours
that must be taken from another task, depending on the variance). In other
words, I scheduled a task to take 5 hours. It actually took 6, so I need to
reflect the 1 hour variance of extra time it took to complete this task.
Conversely, if it actually took 4 hours, I now have 1 "free" hour that was
not used for this project.

The remaining work function and % of work complete seems to calculate the
variance as the hours remaining to be worked in order to complete the task.

Thanks!

Try inserting the Work Variance column. It requires you to have saved a
baseline (Tools, Tracking, Save Baseline) to work.
