'Remaining Cost' Field

[Anum_10]

How can I change the formula in the 'Remaining Cost' field?

I do not show this field under 'Enterprise customer field definition'.

Where can I copy this field to make a new one with the correct formula?

Please let me know. Thanks!

Remaining Cost is a built in field so you would not be able to change it.
The calculation for "Remaining Cost" is [Cost] - [Actual Cost]. What do you
consider to be the correct formula for Remaining Cost?

You can create your own custom enterprise fields but you will not be able to
call it [Remaining Cost] as this is a reserved name.

I just created a new custom field from Project Professional using the 'cost
6' field. to display Basline Budget Cost - Actual Cost, but in PWA the view
shows the name of the column as 'Cost 6' and not the name I have given the
custom field.

How can I rename the Column in PWA view?

Are you using PS2007?

If so, in Project Pro, open the project where you defined your Cost6 local
field. Then go to Tools>Customize>Fields

Then click "Add Field To Enterprise" and give it the name you want it to be
called and seen as in PWA.

This field will now be available to all projects in the enterprise and will
be available to be put in PWA views by the name you gave it.
