    Microsoft Project 2016 - Overall Actual duration is being calculated wrong while using...


    I have created a set of tasks as shown below. Overall Starting from 10th May 2020 to 21st May 2020 as shown below.


    Microsoft Project 2016 - Overall Actual duration is being calculated wrong while using... 9d3833a2-ad93-4287-89ee-393e8ded2c46?upload=true.png


    After setting my status date to 10th May 2020 , i tried to update my %complete column by clicking 'Mark on track' and this is what i got as shown below.

    Microsoft Project 2016 - Overall Actual duration is being calculated wrong while using... 60e94190-f955-452e-993b-3af6320d7919?upload=true.png


    As per my understanding overall Actual duration should have been 1.00 day and % Complete should have been 10% because my status date is 10th May. which means only 1 day is passed from the planned date. I am assuming that MS project is calculating "%Complete" through "Mark on track" using formula 100/Duration*Actual duration. But why the overall actual duration is 3.08 instead 1.00 days. Pleas help.

    :)

    Windows 10 Calculator app gets always on top and compact mode features

    Why not make a suggestion on the Feedback Hub.

    I think this is a step in the right direction. I use Calculator daily.

    Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
