Why? Comparison against baseline dates may tell you if you're late but it doesn't tell you how your project is progressing in terms of achieving its objectives. Consider a 1-week task that was supposed to start, according the the original schedule, on 16 June and end on 20 June. Delays in tasks earlier in the month have caused this task to be delayed a week. Our baseline start and finish haven't been changed by the delay, they're still 16 June and 20 June. Today is Wednesday 25 June. We started on Monday of this week and have worked 3 days of the 5 required. By your logic, since we are past the baseline finish date we are 100% complete but that obviously is not at all the case. We really only 60% complete because we've only worked for 3 days of the required 5 and there's still 2 days work left to do before the deliverable is physically done. Progress isn't measured against dates, it's measured against duration.

I need to create the percentage of conclusion for the activities based on the
dates of beginning [Baseline Start] and end [Baseline Finish] of the base
line, however the project only manages to update the percentage based on the
beginning [Start] and ended [Finish] dates of the normal project. Some ideia??
