Answer: S- Curve Calculation and chart
Hello! Happy New Year to you too!
To create an S-curve in Excel, you will need to follow these steps:
- Open a new Excel spreadsheet and create a table with the following columns: Month, Planned Cost, Actual Cost, and % Complete.
- In the Month column, list out all the months of your project duration. In your case, it would be 30 months.
- In the Planned Cost column, enter the total project cost of 90,000,000. This will be the same for every month.
- In the % Complete column, enter the percentage of the project that is expected to be completed in each month. For example, if you expect to complete 10% of the project in the first month, enter 10% in the % Complete column for that month.
- In the Actual Cost column, enter the actual cost of the project for each month. This will be calculated using the Planned Cost and % Complete columns. To calculate the actual cost for a given month, multiply the Planned Cost by the % Complete. For example, if the Planned Cost is 90,000,000 and the % Complete is 10%, the actual cost for that month would be .
- Once you have entered all the data, you can create a chart by selecting the Month and Actual Cost columns, and then clicking on the Insert tab and selecting the Line chart option. This will create a basic S-curve chart.
- You can customize the chart by adding titles, labels, and formatting options. For example, you may want to add a title that says "Project S-Curve" and label the x-axis as "Months" and the y-axis as "Cost". You can also change the color and style of the chart to make it more visually appealing.
That's it! You should now have a complete S-curve chart for your project. Let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance.
