Invalid Progress Dates - Incomplete Activities Before the Data Date Section of the Schedule Check Report Dialog Box

Overview

Use this section to view incomplete activities that are scheduled before the data date.

Only a subset of the activities in the open projects are checked. WBS summary activities, Level of Effort activities, and activities with actual finish dates before the data date are removed from the subset to create the list of activities checked for planned dates that occur before the data date. The Actual percentage is calculated as the number of activities found that match the check divided by the number of subset activities checked.
