Flagging Cancelled Tasks

[Al_at_FM]

Our project managers routinely extract resource assignment information to
Excel from the Resource Center. This information may include
"cancelled/deleted" task assignments which, if not identifiable, can cause
misintepretation of the data. Such tasks have the Big X in PWA which
indicating that tasks are deleted. However, when the extract does not
contain the same.

Is there a way to flag "cancelled/deleted" tasks by defining a Flag/Outline
Code/Text field with information that can be included in the View that is
extracted so the user can filter the "cancelled/deleted" tasks?

Note that understand the SQL query approach, but wanted an approach which
can work around this issue without much involvement from the PMO.

Hopefully someone can help.

Hi Al_at_FM,

There is another approach. If you want to you can delete the "deleted" tasks
out of your view.
This article from the Project Server Experts explains how you can do this:
