% Complete vs Physical % Complete
Is there some way to make the % Complete field represent the Physical % Complete? That is to say for the % complete to only reflect the status in the work effort field regardless of the duration.
For example:
IF Total Effort = 10 hours & Completed Effort = 5 hours (as would remaining effort)
THEN % Compete =50%
REGARDLESS of whether the duration says 3 months.
Currently the automated calculations always factor in the duration and it's not what I'm after.
Cheers

I had a similar question and I would agree with your initial idea of what the % complete value should reflect: the % of effort which spent with respect to the effort needed to complete the task. Currently, it is a complete mess and you can end up with something like this:
Task should take 40 days duration and 160 h effort which is one full employee with an 8 h day. Now how can the task be completed 50% when only 56.32 h were spent and 103.68 h remain???
- I second this. It seems to be a redundant feature and not what I would expect "% complete" to be used for.
