Earned Value Cost Indicator View/Sheet

[Lee]

Good Morning!

After I select the Earned Value Cost Indicator View/Sheet option from the
drop down (from "more tables") I see a variety of earned value columns.

We all know that:EV-AC = VC
for example (EV)75,000 - (AC)125,000 = -50,000. This means a cost overrun.

But when I calculate Earned Value(BCWP) - Actual Cost, the CV does not give
me the number that I expect.

Can anyone inlighten me?

You're going to have to look at the source data - work, actual work baseline
work etc, read help for each column and manually calculate values based on
formula described in help to see what's going on.

Hi Rod,

Thank you for helping. Below is what I see in the two of the columns on the
sheet.

What I see in MS is:

EV/ (BCWP) Column
1,150.00

Actual Cost Column
7,750.00

CV Column
$3,429.55

CV% Column
-298%

The standard formula for CV below does not give me what MS Project gives me
as CV that you see above. What I get is:
(EV)1,150.00 - (AC)7,750.00 = (CV)6,600.00

Therefore I can not explain what MS Project is doing the management. Can you
help please? What do you think?

Thank you.
