More column like <% complete>

[Martin Soubelet]

Hi, Experts!!
I have a BIG question...
I want to know if it is possible to add more than one column like <%
complete>
I have seen several numerical, of date, and of text, but with none of them I
achieve that it behaves as that of <% complete> specifically in considering
percentages of advance for the macro activities (Automatic calculation)
Exist any alternative?
Thanks in advance

Martin,
Your post is a little confusing but let me see if I can provide some
insight. Percent Complete is one of the basic Project fields similar to
Task Name, Duration, Start, Finish, etc. Percent Complete is a dual use
field, that is, normally the user inputs a value but under certain
circumstances Project will calculate the value.

Each of the three types of Project objects, Tasks, Resources, and
Assignments also has several spare fields such as Number1, Number2,
NumberX, Date1, Date2, DateX and so forth. Each of the spare fields
(except for those associated with assignments) can be designated as a
custom field with a user defined formula. So for example if the user
wants to create a custom cost based on the existing Cost field, one of
the spare task Cost fields (e.g. Task Cost1) can be used.

Hope this helps.
