Spreading High Level Costs Over Multiple Activities

B
Ben Jewell 👤 Member for 21 years 1 month

I'm not sure if this is possible (I've not come across it in other software) but I live in hope so I thought I'd ask people who are more knowledgable than I am with Asta....

What I would like to know is whether the following scenario is possible in Powerproject (and if so, how to do it):

I have all the cost information for the project that I am currently working on and, as expeted, the information relates only to the very high level programme.

User defined fields?

C
Christine P 👤 Member for 17 years 1 month

Hi all

I have a spreadsheet, with milestone dates on that the boss wants putting into Powerproject.  Theres several headings such as "name", "Value", Status" as well as the dates.

Im trying to make my own user defined fields for the headings.  I have created them under "User Field Manager" and selecting "bar" and "String".  Nno problem there. 

But when I add the columns onto the programme, nothing will appear in the column when I type unless I put in a token bar on the chart side.  How can I make my writing appear please?  Are there any

Importing Code Library Entries

B
Ben Jewell 👤 Member for 21 years 1 month

Hi,

 

I'm currently trying to put together a template programme for a particular project where the data is being gathered in a rather cumbersome Excel document.

 

At the moment, I'm trying to build a code library so that I can make the transfer of data between Excel and Powerproject as painless as possible as there is a lot to group and sort (I'm hoping that I can create a suitable template to gather the data in the format that I want etc. etc.) but I digress....

Can you please help me?

 

I have a Gantt chart with a Baseline and fully logic linked but as i record actual start and actual finish along with overall percentage complete the periods change, as they should. however i need to record progress not just against the view or table that im in, I need to record progress against the baseline.

Using UDFs in formula

When I try to use a UDF for consumable/permanent resource in the formula , I get an error message saying - "The formula refers to a UDF or UDT that does not exist . ." in the status bar of the formula dailog.

But the UDF exists and I am able to enter the values of the UDF in the library explorer/spreadsheet. Also the UDF is in the dropdown list of fields in the formula dailog.
