Merging Subprojects
We've recently been asked to combine our individual schedules into master files prior to delivering to the customer. Each sub schedule contains data in the Outline Codes (OC). However, upon inserting the schedules (link unchecked) the master file does not contain any of the OC data. I've tried to ensure that the master file OC fields are populated with the dropdown selections prior to inserting a schedule. Any suggestions on how to get the schedule insertion to bring all the OC data?Solved23Views0likes2CommentsRetrieve the original Project end-date
Good day! When creating a new project, I can choose the Project End date. Now, it's not uncommon that this date changes along the line. For instance, this change when one of the timelines changes in the Gantt-view. I was wondering if the end-date that was originally set and saved in the project, can be retreived somewhere so we can take it into account in a report? So we can report on the difference between the origin value and the most recent value? Thanks in advance!Solved37Views0likes3CommentsNotification not working on projects for the web
Hello! My team of 12 part-time employees and I recently switched from MS Planner to Projects on the web. As they have been updating/combining Planner and Projects we have found we are no longer receiving notifications when a task/project is complete in Projects. We have checked our settings to no avail. Any tips?Solved47Views0likes2CommentsLimiting Resources
I have a project that has two types of resources. One can provide 100% effort to the project (Resource A), and another only 80% (Resource B). I am setting the work effort, and trying to ensure that the durations are appropriate. For example, an 80-hr task for Resource A should take 2wks, but the same task for Resource B should take 2.67wks based on the availability. I've tried setting various calendars (such as a 7hr day for Resource B), and availabilities in the resource tabs, but I'm guessing I'm doing those wrong as no matter what the duration remains at 2wks. Appreciate any help!Solved67Views0likes5CommentsTask with multiple resources showing as multiple rows in Power BI table; instead of just the one row
Question please. I have Project on the Web schedule with many tasks, and some have multiple resources assigned. When I pull the tasks into a table in Power BI report I am getting a row for each task with the resource, instead of the task listing both resources on one row. So if there are 4 resources, the task shows 4 times, once per resource. The tables tasks and resources have a relationship, so is this the way it is supposed to work? How can I just show a list of unique tasks and all the resources assigned in one row per task? Grouping of some sort? So 1 task with 4 resources, shows as 1 task with 4 resources all in one row. Thank youSolved39Views0likes3CommentsInconsistent Values from PWA Custom Field Formula
Hello community. Greetings from first time poster. I created the following formula (“FY Project Completion”) to assign a Financial Year value based on Project Finish Date (“Finish”): if the project ends on or before June 30, 2024, Financial year will be FY24, if the project end date falls between Jul 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025, the Financial Year will be FY25, and so on. IIf([Finish] >= CDate(#7/1/2024#) And [Finish] <= CDate(#6/30/2025#), "FY25", IIf([Finish] >= CDate(#7/1/2025#) And [Finish] <= CDate(#6/30/2026#), "FY26", IIf([Finish] >= CDate(#7/1/2026#) And [Finish] <= CDate(#6/30/2027#), "FY27", IIf([Finish] >= CDate(#7/1/2027#) And [Finish] <= CDate(#6/30/2028#), "FY28", "FY24")))) Surprisingly, the formula gives inconsistent FY values, even for projects with same Finish Date: sometimes it is blank, other times it assigns different FY values. I am attaching a representative listing of about 40 projects, 23 of which have wrong FY value. I will very much appreciate it if somebody can please guide me where I need to make change in the formula to get correct values?

I am wondering if there is a way to increase the limit of 4000 characters that there is for an Enterprise Custom Field that is defined as Multiple Lines of Text. The error messages says: "When using rich text formatting, this limit depends on the extent of the formatting and may be less than 4000 characters." Therefore, it looks like changing the field formatting to plain instead to rich would remove this limit, but I do not know how to do it.

Hello everyone, Some of you may remember my previous thread about the same-ish issue (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/project/excel-reporting-can-t-connect-to-calendars-with-odata-anymore/m-p/4132119) that ended up being solved by a Project Online patch. But somehow, the issue returned. Not the same cause, since it has nothing to do with authentication this time, but the same symptoms : trying to fetch Calendar Exceptions data from an Excel OData query doesn't work anymore. When trying to get the data, I am getting "Error 400 : Cannot get a CSOM-compatible PJContext for an HTTP request that started outside of CSOM." It seems the issue started this morning on my client's tenant. Has anyone else experienced the same issue ?Solved268Views0likes8CommentsDisabling Posting of the Task Conversations
hello Community! I am using Microsoft Project Planner 3 connected to Teams Channel. I am the Owner of the Teams Channel. I noticed that everytime, when someone starts a Task conversation on a task level, their conversaion gets posted in the channel as a Post. I really wish avoiding it, as the Posts are meant only for major announcements in our project. With all tasks conversations published as Posts, it gets cluttered. I wish tasks converstaions not appear in Posts. I disabled the postig feature to Channel Owners only, and unfortuantely it disabled the tasks conversations to non-Owners too. I do recall just a year ago, Task Conversations and Posts were not connected features. Please advise, if it is possible to enable the task assignees to use task conversation feature without task conversations being published as Posts?Solved131Views0likes1Commentportfolio analysis in project for the web

In my project I have 2 resources, I'll call them A and B. Some task can only be performed by resource A, but other task can be done by either A or B, but never A and B together. I tried to solve this by assigning both A and B to the tasks that either of them can do and put them at 50%. This way 2 tasks can be performed concurrently. However if resource A is working on a task which only A can perform, B is also idle because A is 100% occupied. Is there a way to tell a task to use "Resource A" or "Recource B"? Or another work around? To make my question more concrete. Resource A and B in my project are cranes that have to lift certain loads. Crane A is bigger than crane B, so some loads can only be lifted by crane A and some can be lifted by crane B or A, whichever happens te be available. __PRESENTSolved166Views0likes1CommentCannot edit page even with the administrator account.
