Proj 2007: Resource Group Field in MSP_Portfolio_Analyzer cube?

[tfz]

I am creating a view based on the MSP_Portfolio_Analyzer cube in Project
2007. I would like to include the "Resource Group" field in my view (It is
populated with the resource's division information). I don't see this
information in the cube, though. Is it possible to add this field without
resorting to a custom field?

One piece of information to add...I see that the "Group" field is listed as a
Property of the Resource List dimension in the documentation
(OLAPCubeSchemas.xls), but I can't seem to find it when I'm building my view.
If anyone can tell me how to add this property field to my view, I'd
appreciate it!

Instead of using the default Resource Group field, why don't you use a
custom enterprise Resource field with a Lookup Table for this purpose? That
way, it would show up automatically as an available dimension in the Data
Analysis views. Just a thought. Hope this helps.

Hi Dale,

Thanks for your reply. I wanted to use the Resource Group field, because
information is automatically populated in it through the Active Directory
integration. If there's no other way, I can create a custom field, but I
wanted to use what was already populated, if possible.

Thanks,
