Formulas in custom enteprise projet fields

[Jan M.]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a Project Center view with stoplight indicators. The
formula I tested worked just fine with a task custom field, but failed to
work with an enteprise project field.

I modified the field in the enteprise global, saved the file and restarted
Project. Then I opened a project and looked in the project information dialog
box. The new field was there but the value was #ERROR.

Is there something special to do with formulas in enteprise project fields?

Thanks.

Jan M.

Yes. Assuming you wrote a clean formula that will calculate correctly, you
need to recalculate the project by pressing the F9 function key. You will
need to do this for every project currently in the Project Server database,
but you will only need to do this one time for each project. You will not
need to do this when you create any new projects. Hope this helps.
