Lag Field

[gugliupj]

Can I show the lag field in the spreadsheet part of my gantt chart? I know
the lag value shows up in the Pred & Succ field but i want to show it as a
seperate field.

I can also see it as a field when i split the window & show Pred & Succ. I
want to be able to print out the Gantt & show the lags as a seperate field.

gugliupj,
The lag value is not a field, it is part of the Predecessor/Successor
fields. The task information window is a special viewing window only.
For convenience the lag value is broken out for reference. The only way
to do what you want is to use a formula to parse the Predecessor field
and then put the lag value in a spare text field. Is it really worth it?

Interesting but there does not seem to be any way to show it in the view
other than the split window. I thought maybe you could create a custom
formula that returns the lag but this is not the case.

The only other option I can think of is to create a macro that populates a
custom number field with the lag value since that is available in VBA
