No value for the finish date in the summary task.

[Juerg]

Hello

To calculate some graphical indicators on the summary taks I need a value
for the finish date. Although the finish date of the whole project is shown
in the summary task, if I use a function like DateValue(Finish) it’s value is
always zero.
Is there a way to calculate with the “finish†date in the summary task?
I'm using Project 2003 / Project 2007.

thank's for your help,
Jürg

Juerg,
My guess is that you did not check the option to use the formula for
group and summary lines when you set up the formula. Go to
Tools/Customize/Fields and in the lower center, set the option to "use
formula" for calculation for task and group summary rows.
