EarnedValueMethods and Date Formats

[Rahul]

Hi!

MS Project 2003

Could somebody tell me what EarnedValueMethod is and what values it could
possibly have?
Also, what are the difference date formats possible?
Any URL that would describe MS Project internals a bit would be of great
help.

Thank you.
Rahul.

Exerpt from the Help :
Earned value
A measure of the cost of work performed up to the status date or todays
date. Earned value uses your original cost estimates saved with a baseline
and your actual work to date to show whether the actual costs incurred are
on budget. In other words, earned value indicates how much of the budget
should have been spent, in view of the amount of work done so far, and the
baseline cost for the task, assignment, or resource. Earned value is also
referred to as budgeted cost of work performed (BCWP).

Also, what are the difference date formats possible?

Try the following :
