Incorrect BCWP & SPI

I was stuck whole day for the incorrect BCWP & SPI.

One of my colleagus sent me an exmple of plan, trying the EV. I found
the baseline has saved, most of the tasks have correct EV datas except
one, I named it as task A. Whose finish date is extended compared to
the baseline. When I put the project status date in the future -- after
the finish of project. I found when I change the % complete of task A,
the BCWP & SPI do not changed accordingly. I copied the data I recorded
below. Who could tell me the reason.

SPI % BCWP AC
0.2 0.1 6.3 7.8
0.39 0.2 12.6 15.6
0.46 0.3 14.87 23.4
0.47 0.4 14.9 31.2
0.47 0.5 14.93 39
0.47 0.6 14.96 46.8
0.47 0.7 14.99 54.6
0.61 0.8 19.4 62.4
0.8 0.9 25.7 70.2
1 1 32 78

Hello Edward,
What is the Earned value method for that task ?
Double Click the task to open the Task information dialog. Click the
Advanced tab.
The EV method drop down list is at the bottom. If it's Physical % Complete
and that this Physical % Complete is 0%, the EV will stay at 0.
Let us know how you get along.

Hi Gérard,

Thank you reply! The EV calculation method is set to % complete for all
tasks. I have checked that, no problem.

Edward,

Another thing to check : if the resource has been assigned on that task
*after* the baseline was set, both BCWS and BCWP are equal to zero.
