Right click on Task Name.

Sort by "Task Finishing Date"

Count number of tasks due to be finished by today's date.

Divide by 400 * 100 = Percentage of tasks/project complete.

Assuming all tasks take the same amount of time/cost and resource to complete of course

MS Project help

Just been asked to help out on a project thats going tits up, it's had no real control and is slipping badly.

Got an MS Project for a blueprint stage with about 400 tasks that was baselined about 4 weeks ago. I have been asked to pull off some stats that say what number of tasks should have been 100% complete by now (accorinding to that original baseline) and what we have actually achieved to give a gut feeling about progress.

There are no resource costs in the project plan and we are not monitoring the % complete so things are either 100% complete or not.

I'm sure this is fairly simple but I've only ever done basic MS Project work and I didn't want to look like a lemon and admit I dont't know how to do it.

Anyone on here know how? I'm using MS Project 2003.
