Help- Enterprise Custom Field with Formula Not Working

Y

Yvonne

I created a customized field with a formula that will provide a graphical
indicator if your baseline finish date varies from your finish date. I first
tried this in a stand alone project plan and it worked fine. I then opened
Enterprise Global and imported the formula and graphical indicators to the
equivalent enterprise field. It is not working with the enterprise field and
I get a "#ERROR" message in the enterprise custom field. Can any one tell me
what I may have done wrong or how I can check what it is giving the error on.
Thanks.

Open each project and then press the F9 function key to recalculate the
project. Let us know if this takes care of the error message.

Dale,
Re-calculating using F9 did work. Thank you for the resolution. If I
create a new project and insert this column from the beginning, will I still
need to do an F9 on the project plan to re-calculate or just on existing
project plans?

I believe you only need to do this in existing projects. Hope this helps.

Dale,
You are correct. I tested this and the indicators work as expected with a
new project. Thanks again for your help.
