This is fairly accurate for the Daily view, but is much less accurate in the Weekly/Monthly/Quarterly views because you might have only one or two columns for representing the duration of a task in the monthly view. In some cases, the % Complete may be represented as a gray portion of the bar in the Gantt chart. The % Complete is always a manually entered value (unless you are using formula to calculate the % Complete for a summary task, which is explained in the Help worksheet).Ī main assumption in the Gantt chart is that the % Complete for a task can only be estimated by the task lead or their team members. Some people have asked why the % Complete value doesn't update automatically, based on the current date.

The Percent (%) Complete must be entered manually See the Help worksheet for examples of ways to use formulas to define tasks. For example, instead of manually entering today's date in the Today field, you could use the formula =TODAY() to have it automatically update. You can overwrite that formula by entering a value manually if you want to. If an input cell contains a formula, that formula is there to provide an example of what you can enter in that cell. Why are there some formulas in the input cells? It is critical that formulas are copied down after inserting new rows. See the Help worksheet for instructions on how to add new rows.

Is there a way to transfer data from some other Gantt chart spreadsheet?.How to I see/print my entire project? I can only see/print what is currently viewable on my screen.Why are there some formulas in the input cells?.
