Adding a flag to a task

[Bella]

Hi,

I don't know much about setting up a flag for actual work that excedes
scheduled work. Is this possible to do in PWA/MS Pro. Can anyone help? Is
there anything I can read about seting up flags for different things?

Using MS PRO 2003, Project Server 2003

Thanks in advance,
Bella

Define a custom field using a formula. Instead of a Flag field, you may want
to use a Text field, which would allow more flexibility in the resulting
output.

For a flag field, the formula could be:
IIf([Actual Work] > [Work], "Yes", "No")

Bella:

You can follow Reid's advice except you must substitute "baseline work" for
the "work" field. The reason you can't use the work field, is that Work
always equals Actual Work, once actual work exceeds planned work. Of course,
you must begin saving baseline values as a standard practice, using
baselines is the only reliable way to get the results you want.
