What is your status date? BCWP and BCWS are dependent upon the status date. Are the tasks scheduled before the status date?
2-lets say I wanted to know the EV for last month, July. If it showed BCWP, I would simply add the values of BCWP for the interval of July 1- July 31 right?
No - it is not necessarily additive. BCWP is based upon % complete (or Physical % complete) * time phased baseline cost.
3-BCWP would add up to fixed cost and would show between current start and finish dates of that activity correct?
No - see above.
4-BCWS would also add up to fixed cost but it would show between basline start and finish of that activity correct?
As of the status date.

1-my status date is august 8th. these tasks start way before the status date of august 8th and continue through that date. they finish around end of august. i saved baseline again on a test file and it worked.
2-i meant the completed portion of those tasks. if I wanted to EV for july, I would take the "completed portion" of those tasks that took place in July and add them correct? or, is it a cumulative amount, so the amount shown say on July 25 would include the amount in July 24 plus that day?
3-again, i meant when it is complete. so when the task is complete, in that instant BCWP would be equal to the fixed cost i had assigned in the beginning when saving baseline correct?
4-did not understand your answer to this one. BCWS or in other words PV, is totally dependent on baseline, isnt that so? so what is the relevancy of status date here?
