Hi all,

I am using MS Project 2013 and I'm having a problem with the reporting of 'late tasks'.

I have a production schedule for works on a customers site. Our engineers work to my schedule and report back progress on a daily basis.

The schedule has a baseline set and I update this schedule daily and produce a report which should highlight late tasks in a table.

However, I have noticed that these late tasks aren't being correctly identified.

If I insert the 'Status' field I can see that many of the tasks which are in the past (behind the current date and baseline date) are not identified as late.

As an example, the current date (today 31/07/2015) I have several tasks as far back as Baseline Finish dates of 27/07/2015 which are identified as 'On Schedule' or 'Future Tasks'. Clearly this is not correct.



The Finish Variance field shows that there is a variation from the plan (see attached screen shot)

Can anyone explain why this would be the case?

Thanks
