View the Earned Spread

The following steps assume you are using the Standard View Ribbon Menu option to view the data. You may want to configure the standard view to hide or show the columns you want. For example, you may want to include the baseline, actual, or forecast start and end dates as columns in the view. For more information on how to configure and save a custom view, see Window Configuration.

1. Select Home > Earned Value in the Navigation Menu. The main EVMax window displays.
2. Select your project from the Project dropdown in the Ribbon Menu.
3. Expand the WBS hierarchy as needed to view the work packages.
4. Select the work package row in the top pane.
5. Select the Resources tab in the bottom pane. The left pane displays the Budget, Earned, Actuals, and Forecast tabs

6. Select the Earned tab. A list of the resources assigned to the work package displays in the left pane.

   Tip:

   If the Earned tab isn't active, the work package hasn't been statused yet. See Status Work Packages or Status Material Work Packages to manually enter the current status (Work Package tab, Status EVT tab). You can also Import Schedule Status when you have integrated your schedule and cost data.

7. Select the resource row you want in the left pane of the Earned tab.

8. Select the Spreads tab in the right pane of the Earned tab. A table of result rows and calendar month columns displays. The base result row and Total column are highlighted. The calendar month columns to the right of the Total column reflect the baseline work package start and end dates.

   Tip:

   The Total column and calendar month columns will be highlighted in red when a work package budget start date occurs before the previous reporting period end date. You cannot change the earned value data for previous reporting periods.
