This macro restores the PERT macro removed from Project 2010. But wait, there's more! It also lets you change the PERT factors so you can have a 1:4:2 ratio so giving more weight to the Pessimistic values as projects more easily lose time, than save it.
The macro also pre-fills all Optimistic, Most Likely and Pessimistic values using percentages you can change. So by default Optimistic values are 50% of the current Duration, Most Likely 100% and Pessimistic 200%. You can manually change the default values as required. Calculate PERT then calculates based on the factors you provide and stores the predicted value in a new column. Once happy another button click copies the PERT durations to the Duration column and stores the original values so they can be restored if needed.
