Enterprise Custom Field Not Appearing in Portfolio Analzer Field List

A

ayus

Hi Guys,
We are currently using Project server 2003

I created a calculated field in the enterprise global template using
the custom field option (not custom outline code) that i need to
include in a report. I cant find this field in the field list of
portifolio analyzer.

I'll really appreciate if someone can help me resolve this problem.

Enterprise Custom Fields are not available in the OLAP cube unless you
customise the cube by extending it. You have two choices
1. Download the SDK and write the code to extend the cube.
2. Buy a commerical cube extension specific for Project Server.

Ayus:

You can create a calculated field specific to an analyzer view by clicking
on commands and options while editing a view.

Thanks Gary,

I tried using commands and option on the editing view but it kept
giving me an error about my syntax. What i wanted to calculate is to
subtract actual work from work.

Hi Ayus
You should try something similiar to [Measures].[Work] - [Measures].[Actual
Work]. This format works in P2007, I haven't tried it in P2003.
