is there a way that I can make a visual report on a s curve that shows current progress vs baseline progress per day

Try the earned value over time report. Change the usage data to day.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for that but I cant seem to get what I'm looking for
I need to show on a per day graft on what persentige the work should of been on each day and on what persentige it is should of been that every body can see the whole project thus far. have we been running behind where have we lost hours and so forth or is there some other way of showing that. I hope I've explaind it correctly.
I'm afraid earned value is the only way to get what I think you are asking for. You can show Baseline work and actual work per day -- but not percentages.
In order for earned value to work you must have resources with standard cost rates assigned to tasks, a baseline saved, an accurate status date, and accurate tracking.
For a simpler Baseline vs actual work -- you'll need resources assigned (costs not necessary) plus a baseline.
Do you have any or all of the above?
What version of Project are you using?
I'm using MS Projects 2010
I have resources on some tasks and have a baseline saved I update the schedule on a daily basis unfortunately we have no costs connected to our schedules
Without costs, earned value data will not calculate, and with resource only on some tasks, comparing Baseline work to Work won't do either.
The best I can suggest is to compare Baseline Start, Baseline Finish, Baseline Duration against Actual Start, Actual Finish, and Actual Duration.
Through some custom fields, you should be able to calculate things like Duration Variance percentage by comparing Duration Variance against Duration.
But I'm afraid there isn't anything that is built in given what you have for data.
Thank u for that feed back I found a formula that gives me the % that it should have been on on current date so now I just go and manualy put that values in excell from a day to day basis
thanks again
You're welcome.
I've gone thru some of the other threads and realized that I don't know anything I've completed the advanced training on MS projects 2010 but did not help with the stuff that I read here
is there some EBook that I can download that is the complete manual or something that can teach me more on this program
Sorry, I don't know of any free resources. The MSExperts books are quite good but I believe they are only in print version -- I don't think they have e-books.
