Graphical Indicator displaying data instead of graphical indicator

[Stacey]

Hi,

I have a graphical indicator with the following formula and on my view, the
column is showing as data instead of the graphical indicator. I have
indicators set up for Complete, Not Baselined, etc. On the Enterprise Custom
Fields page, it even says there is a graphical indicator. Any ideas why it's
showing the words instead of the picture?

IIf([% Complete]=100,"Complete",IIf([Baseline
Finish]=ProjDateValue("NA"),"Not Baselined",IIf(([Finish Variance]/[Minutes
Per Day])>5,">1 Week Late",IIf(([Finish Variance]/[Minutes Per Day])<=5 And
([Finish Variance])>0,"0 to 1 Week Late","On Schedule"))))

Thank you! Thank you!
Stacey

Where in PWA are you attempting to display this field with Graphical
Indicators? It would help if we knew that before we can troubleshoot your
problem. Let us know.

Hi Stacey,

I would check the obious. can you make sure that your graphical indicators
are setpu so that the words you have in your formula match, including spaces
etc. exactly to what you have in your graphical indictar screen when you set
up the formulas. I see often that the word is not spelled correctly and
therefore it displays the word.

Hope this helps and let me know how you go

We found we had to publish the schedules to get the graphical display to show
instead of the text. Try a few projects and let me know.

Hi Dale,

I am looking at it from Project itself (not PWA). I am using a view I made
with my new custom field.

Thoughts?

Hi Marc,

I checked the words (including spaces). They shouldn't be in quotes in the
"Values to Display" section...right?

Thanks!

Hi Sean,

I tried publishing and it still shows as data instead of graphical.

Thoughts?

instead of the text. Try a few projects and let me know.

Hi Dale,

The formula is the one you wrote answering another question of mine which is
also included in the original part of this discussion. The criteria for the
graphical indicators are:
equals Complete [checkmark indicator]
equals Not Baselined [white circle indicator]
etc.

Does this help?

Thank you!
Stacey
