Q: How are the Actual Duration and Remaining Duration calculated?

If you type a value in the Percent Complete field, Project Plan 365 automatically calculates actual duration and remaining duration. In this case, Actual Duration = Duration * Percent Complete Remaining Duration = Duration – Actual Duration. If you type a value in the Percent Complete field in a summary task, Project Plan 365 automatically distributes the Percent Complete for subtasks. The distribution tries to add Actual Duration equally for each subtask which is scheduled as working starting from the Project Start Date.
