Calculated fields in summary tasks
Hi,
Just a quick thought, but have you made sure you've told the custom field what to do for Summary Rows?
On the Custom Field dialog there's a section labelled "Calculation for task and group summary rows"
You can select None, Rollup, or Use Formula.
None - performs no calculation
Rollup - uses any of the standard aggregate functions to aggregate the data from the subtasks in the group (e.g. SUM, AVERAGE etc)
Use Formula - Use the same calculation for summary tasks as for subtasks.
Try changing these settings until you get the one you want.
You can see a blog about how to do this here:

Hope it helps
