Hello,

I need to calculate the earned value on a project, and for that I need to enter the percent complete based on date.

So if a project begins 3/1/2012 and ends 9/1/2012, based on today's date what percent complete is it?

Thank you!

Assuming your start date is in A2 and end date in B2, try =(TODAY()-A2)/(B2-A2) in C2 and format as percentage.

If the end date has passed you will get odd results, but you could avoid that with something like...
=IF(C2<TODAY(),"PROJECT COMPLETED",(TODAY()-A2)/(B2-A2))

Let me know if that's what you need, or indeed if it's not what you meant at all.

If the start date is in A1 and then end date is in A2, perhaps the following
will meet your needs:

=(TODAY() - A1) / (A2 - A1)

formatted as Percentage.
