The "Complete through" is derived from the mean duration and therefore has no relation to your custom text field for your Planned % Complete.

NKumar2010,
You need to create a new custom bar style that represents your custom field. Go to, Gantt Chart Format > Bar Styles group > Format > Bar Styles, and at the bottom of the list define the Name, Appearance, and other attributes of the new bar.
Understand that the priority of bar in the list of bar styles is from the bottom, that is bar styles at the bottom of the list will supersede any conflicting bars at the top of the list.
Hope this helps.
