How to show missed deadline indicator?

[Catherine]

I have tasks that have deadlines, yet when the actual date is beyond the
deadline, the "missed deadline" indicator does not show. How do I get the
indicator to show? Thank you.

Hi Catherine,

If the task has an actual finish date, the icon that appears in the
indicator column is the checkmark showing the task is complete. I don't
believe you can change to show the missed deadline indicator instead of the
checkmark.
You could use one of the spare Flag fields with a custom formula:
for example:

IIf([Actual Finish]>[Deadline],Yes,No)

and then set a graphical indicator to display instead of the Yes, No.

Hope this helps. Please let us know how you get along.
