How to add red green yellow icon in MS Project to incidate status

Hi BE,

You have a couple of options. One is to insert the Status Indicator
field. This will show icons for:
Tasks complete = check mark
Future task = blank
Task on schedule = clock with check mark
Task is late = clock with exclamation point.

For additional information see Help in Project on Status Indicator

You could also add a custom field referring to [Finish Variance], or
[Cost Variance] , or [Start Variance] depending upon what you want to
measure. Then by using Graphical indicators have the field show flags
or other graphics.

Take a look at Mike Glen's series of articles on MS Project at:
http://project.mvps.org/mike's_tutorials.htm

Articles number 14 & 15 address using graphical indicators for cost.
You could certainly modify the fields used to work with other indicators
for schedule.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
