Results Pane of the Analyze Form

The Results pane shows many columns of data for the project you are analyzing. Some of the columns are color-coded based on thresholds that are defined in the Code and Resource files.

The Results pane shows the following columns.

Column	Description
Selection	This column indicates whether a code contains child codes, and whether the child codes are expanded on the display. If this column is blank for a particular code, then that code has no child codes. If this column displays the plus (+) sign for a particular code, then that code has unexpanded child codes. If this column displays the minus (-) sign for a particular code, then that code has expanded child codes.
Code	This column displays each code used in the project analysis.
Description	This columns contains a brief description of the code.
Start Date	This column displays the start date for the work represented by the code.
Finish Date	This column displays the finish date for the work represented by the code.
CV	This column displays the cost variance (CV) associated with the code. The formula used is Budget - Actuals. If the CV exceeds the threshold, Cobra displays the value in this field against a colored background. A green background indicates a positive CV. A red background indicates a negative CV.
SV	This column displays the schedule variance (SV) associated with the code. The formula used is Earned - Budget. If the SV exceeds the threshold, Cobra displays the value in this field against a colored background. A green background indicates a positive SV. A red background indicates a negative SV.
Budget	This column displays the budgeted cost of work scheduled for the code.
Actuals	This column displays the actual cost of work performed for the code.
Earned	This column displays the budgeted cost of work performed for the code.
Budget At Complete	This column displays the budget at complete for the code.
SPI	This column displays the SPI (schedule performance index) for the code. The formula used is Earned/Budget.
CPI	This column displays the CPI (cost performance index) for the code. The formula used is Earned/Actual.
EAC	This column displays the Forecast for the code.
VAC	This column displays the VAC (variance at complete) for the code. The formula used is BAC - EAC. If the VAC exceeds the threshold, Cobra displays this value against a colored background. A green background indicates a positive variance. A red background indicates a negative variance.
