Project Formula - Display Images

T

TroyS

I have a Task Finish Variance field to show Red, Yellow, Green depending on
the amount of the variance. This piece seems to work even at Task ID 0
(summary task for the project). Based on the value in the formula, i resolve
to such things as "Late", "On Schedule" and then show a Yellow or Green light.

Now I want to show the 'summarized' color to show in PWA Project Center for
the project. So i set up a Project Formula ( [Project Finish Variance] ) =
[Task Finish Variance] from Above. I've set up the same thing where if the
value = "Late" I want to show Red, if "On Schedule" i want Green, etc.

I've inserted the [Project Finish Variance] field into a Project Center
view. I can see the text value of Late but I don't see the Red Light/image,
just the value.

Previously, I've done the same thing in PS2003 without issue, but seem to
have this now. Any ideas why the image won't show but the text does?

You or your PM's need to open each project, press the F9 function key to
recalculate the project, and then publish it. Hope this helps.

Dale,
Yep, i did that before logging issue.
I've hit F9 several times and republished info. I'm still showing the
formula value rather than the image ....

If you have any other suggestions, let me know. Thx
