Summary Progress Field - Project Server 2007

[CQ]

In Project Server 2003, we were using the field for the "Summary Progress
Date" for our reports. I can't seem to find that field in Project Server
2007. Can somebody help me out if it still exists?

Let me clarify - the Summary Progress Date for the entire schedule, not a
specific task.

Hi CQ,

there are several dates you can have on a project field. The Start date and
the finish date of actual, forecast and baseline.
I assume that your summary progress field is a calcuated field that looks at
the Status Date of your project. The status date is not an out of the box
project center date that you can simply include. You will need to create a
Project custom field and enter a formula that simply says [status date]. This
custom field can then be used to include into your project center view and it
will show you the status date of the project.
I hope that is what you are after

Hi Marc,

Thanks for the reply but I don't believe that is what I am looking for. In
project 2003, there was an actual field that the system calculated that you
could report on. To see the result in Project itself, you had to look at the
Gantt Chart and it was called "Summary Progress" in the chart - you could
hover over it and get the date. And, for our reports, we could get the
information from the table. The Project Summary date is not the same date
either.

In 2007, I can't find that field.

I am sorry CQ, but I cannot recall this functionality in 2003. What did the
progress summary date represent?

Hi Marc,

I apologize for the long delay, I never saw a response to my last comment
until tonight. The functionality in 2003 is the same in 2007. The Progress
Summary Date is what you see on the tracking gantt with the bar styles turned
on. The field represents the overall progress of the schedule. It used to
be a clearly identified field in 2003. But, it isn't in the reporting
database for 2007.
