A problem with Tracking View - "% complete" column

Hello everyone,
as usual here is the .pod I'm referring to. I cannot understand why the "percent work complete" is always blank. Since the work is distributed evenly on the duration for each activity, the "percent work complete" should show the same values shown in the "percent work" column.
Thanks a lot for any assistance

I downloaded project and see % work complete
I am not sure what you are seeing.... I opened your project and added % work complete in the spreadsheet and see the numbers.
My mistake
Hi,
You're right, that column works just fine. I made a mistake translating the column title from Italian,
The column I am referring to is the one called "Percentuale fisica completata" in the Italian version. I cannot figure out what it does. It appears next to the "% Complete" column (at its right) in the Tracking view.
Thanks again

Hello Andrea
We use the Physical% Complete column when the% Complete column does not reflect the actual work performed. It is most commonly used with EVA. For use this column you must configure the PL, enter the Earned Value Method column.

It certainly did help!
It certainly did help! However though I followed the steps from the blog, I still can't input any number in the physical % column. Here's the .pod. Did I miss something?
Thanks a lot

No You haven't missed. It is a bug
Physical % Complete Column
I am trying to do some EVM calculations. I however do not find the Physical % Complete option to insert into a Column. I require this to be able to adjust the Physical % Completed to be able to change the EV (BCWP), as it is linked to Physical % Completed.
Your assistance will be appreciated.
Physical % Complete field will not let you insert values
Hello to all,
Physical Percentage Complete field will NOT let you insert values, it seem to be an inactive field no mater the EVM selection method is Physical % complete.
As shown in the image below, baselines, status date, % complete and %work complete, etc.. are set/ok.
Is it working, i.e. is it possible to insert values in Physical % complete field? If yes, how.
Thanks.
Physical % Complete Field Will Not Let You Insert Values
Is it possibile that nobody has ever used the physical % complete (PPC) field track a project progress???
All users just adopt the (simple) % complete, no mater which is the task, i.e. writing a software or building a skyscraper... or use PL just to draw the Gantt chart?
There are no project managers or PMP's that use this software and have used the PPC field?
Physical % Complete Field Will Not Let You Insert Values
I fail to understand WHY PMP's haven't yet complained about this problem. I believe that being able to insert the physical progress, allows you to compare your actual progress to the planned... What will be done about this? This correction URGES to be made. Otherwise we'll be only checking TIME PASSED...

Good point... looking at it
Hey there, we are very constrained on resources... we have absolutely 0 support so doing a lot. We are focused on the cloud version but this seems like we should look at .... I have pinged our CTO to take a look. I cannot promise anything but thank you for the comment!
