I have simple plan I've set up with six colums: baseline start, baseline
finish, baseline work, actual start, actual finish, actual work. I want to
compare planned with actual project data. I assume since units aren't
specificed (tasks have been set to "fixed work" types) that I can enter any
start, finish, and work values and it would use whatever units were
necessary to make it work. But when I enter actual start and finish dates,
MS Project automatically inserts an actual work value. I'm not sure what
it's using for units because the value is very large (81,966 hrs) even
though the start and finish dates differ by only two monthis. Also, if I
then enter a realistic actual work value, it changes the finish date to NA.
Does anyone know what's going? Is there a better way to do what I'm trying
to do?
Thanks for the help. -Pat
