Planner Premium <% complete> calculation is strange
Hi,
I encountered a strange behavior of the <% complete> field in the premium planner when you change the <duration> and/or <effort> fields after you started a task, e.g.
- Set <start date>=today, <duration>=20 days, <effort>=40hours, <% complete>=50%
- Then change <duration> and <effort> to accommodate for unexpected delay/scope extension
Doing this, you will end up with a completely broken <% complete> value as shown in the image below.
It seems that the <duration> field is somehow integrated in the calculation of <% complete>, which I feel is odd.
Happy to get some feedback

Hi Andrew,
Unfortunately, there was no reaction so far. The post probably doesn't have enough votes to be recognized. I'm still interested to get some feedback, just don't know how to push this?!?
Cheers, Lasse
did you get any answers to this? I find the calculation to be very confusing and I can't figure out how these calculations are being done.
- Yes! please someone provide guidance on this. It was driving me and my coworker crazy trying to figure out how effort/duration/% complete were related.
