PRJ4: Finish Variance Not Calculated Without a Baseline Start

Q132097

kbusage kbdocerr

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Project for Windows, version 4.0
Microsoft Project for the Macintosh, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Project, if the Baseline Start field is NA (not entered) then a Finish Variance is not calculated.

NOTE: If the Baseline Start field of the project summary task is NA, then a Finish Variance for the entire project is not calculated.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Project listed above.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft Project Help describes Finish Variance as the difference between a Finish date and a Baseline Finish date. Although the calculation should be independent from the Baseline Start date, it is not. Microsoft Project does not calculate finish variance without the existence of a Baseline Start value.
