Variance and Actual Start and Actual End Not Entered

[DMM]

Hi,

Is there any way to have the variance table reflect start and finish
variances for tasks which don't have actual start and finish dates?

For example, if a task was supposed to start on 12/1/2005 and it is
12/5/2005, I would like to have to the variance reflect the 4 day start
variance so that I know that technically this task is 4 days behind schedule.
This seems like a good view to have so I can see what my planned schedule
was vs. what is actually currently happening.

To do this you'll need to take a baseline when you are done originally
setting up your planned schedule. (Tools - Tracking - Save Baseline - choose
Baseline for the entire project). Insert the fields Start Variance and
Finish Variance. These fields show how much the planned start/finish varies
from the baseline start/finish of the task.
