    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.

    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
