Display Cumulative or Current Values

You can analyze either cumulative values or current (period-specific) values. Charts and tables that focus on one period display either cumulative cost/schedule variance values as of that period or the cost/schedule variance values for that period alone, depending on the option you select. Trending charts and tables show either the change in cumulative cost/schedule variance values from period to period or, if you select Current, the fluctuation of period-specific values from period to period.

To indicate whether you want to display cumulative or current cost/schedule variance values, complete the following step:

Do one of the following:

• To display cumulative values, select Cumulative in the Cumulative/Current option set on the dashboard.
• To display current values, select Current in the Cumulative/Current option set on the dashboard.
