the summary level

Hi rathan,

As it is not a custom field you cannot use formulas.
Through a VBA procedure you can calculate it but that is not a very simple
program.
For starters, you will have to define by which formula you want to calculate
the percentage.
Sum of (Work times physical%complete) divided by Summary Work?

Seems logical but doesn't that beat the whole idea of PHYSICAL % complete
which is base on result and not on effort?

% Physical Complete doesn't roll up because it doesn't make any sense for it
to. If it did, any numbers it produced would be meaningless. Consider, to
build a birhouse I need to cut 7 boards for 4 walls, 2 roof pieces and the
floor, an opening in one wall. I need to nail them all together and then
paint. I've cut the walls (100%), painted two of the 7 pieces (30%), nailed
two walls together (20% of the nailing). What is my summary physical %
complete and if I *could* come up with a number, would it mean anything
regarding how well my birdhouse was progressing? % Complete refers to
duration worked versus duration required, a far more accurate measure.

Hi Rathan,
You have to edit it in the customized field of Physical % Complete, you can
choose: sum, avg, max, min, etc from there.
Best of luck
