Project enterprise fields - Calculated Values

[Scott]

I am trying to shows some calculated values in the enterprise Project feilds,
so that I can disply them on Project views in Project Center.
specifically,

I want to calculate EAC using a differnt method than what is included in
Project.
I have entered the formula in to the Project Enterprise feild, both cost and
number. The formula uses the ACWP, Baseline cost and BCWP to do the
calculation.
However when i add the feilds to my project center view the caluations show
zero.
Am I doing something wrong here, can you do calcs in these fields.
i would also like to add a graphical indicator for CPI and SPI in the same
view. If I make one of the Project enterprise feilds = [CPI] is does not show
the correct value.
what am i doing wrong

thanks

Scott

Hi Scott,
Additionally to your change in Project Web Access you will need to open
Project Professional, open your projects and press F9 ( recalculate). After
that you will need to republish your project. Only after you have done this
with your projects, you are able to see the values in Project Web Access.
I hope that helps

Also, an important note:

to see custom project fields in Portfolio Analyzer you will need this tool:
