Question

How to add fields like Text1, Text2 or Number1 Number2 to Formula in Enterprise Custom Fields for Reporting in Project Online/ Project server.

In formula I am not able to find the property Text1 or Number1 to which I have given some values and I have to fetch them to calculate certain things for my report.

I user ProjectData to fetch the task details along with the custom fields.

Is there anyway that I could fetch these properties?

Answer 1

TextX, NumberX, .... are not available for reporting and - unfortunately - you can't even use it in a formula of an Enterprise Custom Field. From client, you are able to import a field like MyText1=[Text1] without error. But this formula will not work.
