Low Estimate (Work) and High Estimate (Work)

[TurboPing]

In our charts we create a Low Estimate and a High Estimate of hours to
complete a job. We use the Work column for the Low estimate (since it
totals our hours), but I need another Work column for the High estimate so
that its hours will be totaled. If I use the Work column twice, I just get
the same hours in both columns. What I really need is a "Work2" column, but
there's not one.

Is there a way to achive my goal of having 2 Work columns... or more
precisely, 2 columns that total? (This is Project 2007).

The custom fields Number1 through Number10 will serve this purpose nicely.

Hmmm... thank you for this suggestion, but if I add a column Number1, it
doesn't total (roll-up) like the Work column does. Am I missing something?

My bad... I neglected to edit the attributes of the custom field... Once I
did that, I'm good to go. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.

I am glad it worked out for you; thank you for the feedback.
