%Complete marks against the time of a task. If a task is 10 days in duration
and you are on day 3, your planned %Complete is 30%.
You could write a formula for a spare field such as Text1. The formula
would involve the duration, status date, and the task start date. You will
need to calculate the difference between start date and status date, then
divide by duration.
Alternative copy the %Complete to a spare field such as Text1. Then update
your %Complete to "As scheduled" Tools/ tracking/Update Project... This
will give you your planned %Complete as well.
However, tracking planned vs actual %Complete is maybe not the best way to
look at things. If you have costed resources in your schedule, a baseline,
and real work also loaded, consider using the Schedule Performance Index
(SPI) which is a field available to you. A value of 1.00 means you are on
schedule. If the value is 0.92 it means you are 8% behind where 1.21 would
be 21% ahead of schedule. You can read about it by typing SPI in the help.
Another search term would be "Earned Value"
