How to display Custom column data in Gantt Chart in Project 2016 ?
- NKumar2010,
The "Complete through" is derived from the mean duration and therefore has no relation to your custom text field for your Planned % Complete. In order to define the "From" and "To" criteria for your custom text field, you need to convert the end points of your Planned % Complete into dates in custom Start and Finish fields (e.g. Start1 and Finish1).

Thanks John.
By changing row value as 2, I am able to get the 2nd bar. But when 2nd bar appears, the length of this 2nd bar is also the same as task duration. I'd like the length of this 2nd bar (say Planned % Complete bar) to be dictated by the Planned % Column (text field) value, just like the progress bar's length is dictated by % complete.
So, my Gantt chart should look like three bars
Duration bar - default, length controlled by duration field
Progress bar - default, length controlled by % complete field
Planned % complete bar - custom, length controlled by Planned % complete field.
How do I control the length of this 3rd bar ? If I select "To" as Complete Through, the length of the 3rd bar becomes equal to % complete and not Planned % Complete.
Any thoughts ?

- Thanks for your reply John. With a bit of experiment, I am not able to have a Planned % Complete bar , with length equal to status taken date. I also see two bars per task. Thank you.
- NKumar2010,
You're welcome and thanks for the feedback.
Do I assume correctly that you meant to say "now" instead of "not"?
