in the Selection column
to display the Control Account Search
Dialog Box.Use the Control Account Cost Performance Index (CPI) and Schedule Performance Index (SPI) report to view the difference in a control account’s CPI and SPI in a graphical manner, with the option of rolling up the values to the project level or for CAs belonging to a CAM.
CPI (Cost Performance Index) is the ratio of earned value to actual cost which is used to estimate the projected cost of completing the project. Formula is Earned Value / Actual Cost.
SPI (Schedule Performance Index) is the ratio of earned value to planned value which is used to estimate the projected time to complete the project. Formula is Earned Value / Planned Value.
You can create a gauge report for individual control accounts or a list of several control accounts. You can also create a gauge report for aggregated control accounts belonging to a CAM or a project.
You can specify either specific records or criteria when you define
the filter that the system uses when creating the report. Click in the Selection column
to display the Control Account Search
Dialog Box.

For reports that support master projects, if you select a master project in Project Search (<Report> Search dialog box), when the report runs, data for all subprojects related to the selected master project displays on the report.
The cost sets that are used (displayed on the Table Columns tab of the Options dialog box) are from the master project. You don't need to define the cost sets in each subproject. When you run the report, only the classes in the master project for the cost sets you have selected will be retrieved from each subproject. For example, if you select a cost set on the Table Columns tab that includes a budget class, when you run the report, it only retrieves the budget class data from each subproject.
Reports using master projects use the master calendar.
To display the data by project, group by Project on the Sorting/Grouping tab.
You can use the Options dialog box to customize the report. Click 
in the Options column to display the Control Account CPI and SPI Options
dialog box which includes the following tabs:
Use the General tab to rename a report and select workflow to display.
Use the Sorting/Grouping tab to specify the sequence in which data displays on the report.
Use the Graph tab to create a graph to display on the report.
Use the Layout tab to set the font, margins, orientation, page size, and other formatting options for the report.
All tabs on the Options dialog box share some common options and buttons.
The header portion displays the title of the report, Control Account CPI and SPI. On the right side of the header is a date and time stamp for the report. Below the header are labels that shows information about the report parameters such as the project that is used and the status date.
The group label changes depending on the grouping selected. Markers display the range of values — the lower limit is 0.8 and the upper limit is 1.2. The color banding is based on the project settings. If color banding is turned off, the range is not available.
An arrow displays the CPI or SPI value.
If Total $ is selected on the General tab of the Options dialog box, the display corresponds to the cost CPI and SPI.
If Hours is selected in the General tab of the Options dialog box, the display corresponds to the hours CPI and SPI.
The report table displays data related to the gauges and includes three columns from the control account and work package table (Budget, Actuals, and Earned) as well as CPI and SPI columns.
If the Display control account list check box is selected on the General tab, a list of control accounts with their respective CPI and SPI values displays.
