Fix bad math

- Job Unit Cost Expanded Report

Error in calculation still exists……. You are taking the difference between JTD and projected to get variance. This is a % completion formula…..
 
Variance (from budget) = Projected Cost at completion - Estimate Cost at Completion

Three questions:
 
Why would the math for variance be different on different reports? Job cost analysis calculates correctly the variance between the projected cost at completion and the estimated cost at completion.
 
Why would one ever care what the difference between projected at completion and job to date is unless you are calculating % complete?
 
If you know it is broken (designed and documented wrong), why won’t they fix it?
