Project status and reports don’t match

3 Min. Lesezeit

If you’re seeing different numbers between the Project status page and the Detailed or Summary reports, here’s a breakdown of why the values may not match and how to interpret them correctly. 

Project status shows all-time totals #

The Project status page always shows data from the start of the project to the current date. It does not respond to any date range filters. 

What this means:

  • If you run a report for last month, but the project started earlier, you’ll see a lower total in the report.
  • The project status will show the full total from day one of the project.

How to match them more closely:

  • Extend the report date range to cover the full project duration if you want to compare values. 

Time rounding doesn’t apply to project status #

Time rounding rules set in Workspace settings only affect reports and exports, not the project status page.

What this means:

  • If you’ve rounded time entries (e.g., to the nearest 6 minutes), reports will reflect that rounded value
  • The project status page will use actual tracked time (unrounded), resulting in small differences

How to check:

  • Open the Detailed report and turn off the rounding
  • You’ll likely see values that more closely match the project status

Invoiced time is not deducted from the project status #

Invoicing a time entry does not remove or subtract it from the project’s tracked time or progress.

What this means:

  • If you’ve already invoiced 20 hours, you might expect those to be removed from the project 
  • They’ll still be counted in full as project status tracks total effort, not outstanding or un-invoiced time

Project status is always displayed in decimal format #

Regardless of how your workspace is configured (e.g., full, compact, or decimal format), the Project status page will always show time in decimal format.

What this means: 

  • If your report says 1h 30m, the Project status page will display that as 1.5h
  • This is just a difference in formatting, not an error or miscalculation 

Use the Detailed report in the decimal format if you want a side-by-side comparison that matches the project status format.
