Custom Field Formula documentation

Sean

I'm trying to create a custom field, but the built in formulas are
failing me. I want to create a column that mimics the Resource Names
column in behavior, adding the units after the name (e.g. Project
Manager[150%]). Since I want it to appear in a Gantt view, it needs to
be a Task field.

When I go into a custom text field's formula builder, there is no
"resource units" field to choose from in the field list. The only
thing I found was Assignment Units, but that doesn't work. I'm not
looking for a resource's Max Units; that's the project-level units
setting.

Is there documentation on the web somewhere that delineates how to
make a custom field formula?

Thanks Rod!

From a Task formula you can't read resource or assignment data except what's
already in the Resource Name, Initials and Group columns. The only other way
is to create a VBA macro.
