You can select an entry method for the progress and earned progress data, and can enter progress (both resource and activity) and earned progress independently. Also, you can select an entry method that allows you to enter the progress of activity or resource then calculate earned progress, or enter earned progress and calculate progress for an activity or resource.

- Open a schedule sheet.
- Choose File > Budget and Progress Setup > Schedule Sheet.
- In the Default % Complete and Earned Progress section, choose a default entry method. This entry method will apply to all activities in the schedule sheet, unless it is overridden by the selection of a different entry method for an individual activity.
