All,
I am new to this forum, and only just starting to MS project in a more advanced setting. I have been working a project plan with multiple project stages, and to make the project plan more 'user friendly' I was thinking of having a column titled 'Baseline
Variance traffic light' in my project plan, based on the below listed rules:
- If the Finish Date is <=Today's Date and % complete equals 100%, then display the green graphical indicator
- If the Finish Date is >Today's Date and the % complete is <100%, then display the green graphical indicator
- If the Finish Date equals Today's Date and the % complete is <100%, then display the yellow graphical indicator
- If the Finish Date is <=1 week from Today's date and % complete <100%, then display the yellow graphical indicator
- If the Finish Date is >1 week from Today's Date and % complete <100%, then display the red graphical indicator
- If the Finish Date is <=Today's Date and % complete equals 100%, then display the green graphical indicator
- If the Finish Date is >Today's Date and the % complete is <100%, then display the green graphical indicator
- If the Finish Date equals Today's Date and the % complete is <100%, then display the yellow graphical indicator
- If the Finish Date is <=1 week from Today's date and % complete <100%, then display the yellow graphical indicator
- If the Finish Date is >1 week from Today's Date and % complete <100%, then display the red graphical indicator
The question that I have is how do I create the traffic light system to make my project plan more user friendly for reporting purposes.
Any help/input will be greatly received.
