MS Project 2002 - EVM Table

[Ravi]

Hi,

I'm new to the newsgroup.

I was using MS Proj 2002 today and created a new project,
baselined it and viewed the Earned Value Table under the
Tracking Gantt.

This is what I found:

1. If all the tasks have been sequenced before baselining,
after baslining the BCWP for each task is zero.

2. If no task has been sequenced when baselining, the BCWP
has a value based on the resource rate and duration but
the moment you sequence it after that, the BCWP reverts to
zero for the "sequenced" tasks; non-sequenced tasks
continue to hold the BCWP value.

3. If I use a project file created under Project 98 and
converted to 2002, everything is fine. When I converted
it to MS Project 2000, my BCWP values were reverted to
zero.

Has anyone encountered this before? If you did, did you
manage to fix it? How?

Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
The BCWP is calculated on the basis of the Status date (Project / Project information)
Where is your Satus date (between the project's start and finish date ?)

Hi Gerard,

My mistake. It is not BCWP but BCWS. The Planned value
must have a value based on the resource rates or any other
planned costs, but it shows zero.

Ravi
