Showing Task Outline Code descriptions

[jbigroups]

Is it possible to show a task outline code description in a view in the
MS Project client?

Example:
billing code --- department
12345 Maintenance Management


In the above example, I would like to show "maintenance management" in
one view.

Thanks for the help,

Jerry

I do not know of any way simple add the Outline Code description. As I am
sure you have seen it is not available in the field lists.

A clumsy work around could be to user a Formula on a Spare Text Field.

Eg In Text 2 use nested IF statements in a formula
IIf( expression, truepart, falsepart )

IIf( Outline Code 1 = 'A', 'A Description', [Nested If Statement] )
IIf( Outline Code 1 = 'A', 'A Description', IIf( Outline Code 1 = 'B', 'B
Description', [Next Nested If Statement] )
)

and so on.

If you can find a CASE function it would be better. I am not sure what the
[Choose] function does, but that may be of use looking at it.
