Hello erhan,

What group definition are you using and what specifically do you wish
to show? I agree that if I group by Baseline Start for example, the
summary row in the Baseline Start field shows the latest baseline
start, but the left side of the grouping row would be what I would
focus on -- it specifically shows the date range (I chose to group by
week).

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

I am using text type custom fields ....if I group by custom fields the
summary row in the baseline start date shows the latest date (max. date)
.....but BASELÄ°NE START DATE must the earliest date...!!!!!
I think that that is bug....
please look at my example at attachment .....we planned 3000 lines with ms
project .....and group by costom fields ....
please to study carefully....my example...
sincerely

Hello Erhan,

Sorry your example did not come through so I can only make suggestions
based upon guesses. Have you tried altering your group to group first
by Baseline start date then by the custom text fields? Again, the
summary row will show the date range in the grouped by fields. Other
than that suggestion, I don't know who to change the group by data for
the baseline start field. To the best of my knowledge, it cannot be
modified within MS Project. You may have luck exporting the data out
to Excel and then manipulating there.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
