using global Variables in Field-Formula ?

[F. S.]

Hello,

in the menu File / Preferences you can add customized variables which
are valid for the whole project.

My question is now: How can I reference to theese vars within a field's
formula?

e.g.
- I add a var called "Servers" with a value 15
- in the Field "Number2" i enter a factor for each task
- in the Field "Number1" i want to caluclate "Servers" * "Number2"

but MSP does not accept "Servers" in the formula field...

please help !

regards, Felix.

Hi,

We know the problem, but I'm afraid there is no solution :-(

The variables referenced in the file preferences are part of the file header
information and not accessable within a formula AFAIK. How about loading an
unused number field with your constant and referencing that? In Tools,
Customize, Field simply enter the expression "=15" as the formula for the
field you want to use to store the constant.
