Hello,

I have used Emilie's project and formula both in MSP 2016 US and MSP 2013 French, and it works fine! 

I am working with Windows 7 in french, and the list separator is semi-column (;)

Best regards

Your formula certainly works fine and I did not doubt that it would not - I did use it for my project and I get a blank project - just like your 4 week lookahead - when I click on that it returns a blank - although you have no formula for that I believe anyway I used your formula which works fine but not in my Project - I need to go through and see where I am going wrong but again Thank you so much for the help and formula - I am doing something wrong that I need to remedy

Best regards

Brian

Hi Brian,

If you go to the bottom of the article, I've just added the Microsoft Project file that I used. Hopefully this will help.

Brian,

For a response other than "double check harder," you need to be more specific. 

What region are you in (determines whether to use commas or semi-colons)?

What (exactly) is the formula you are entering?  In what field?

What specific errors are you getting?

Needless to say, is your installation fully up to date?

HI Guys

I have tried this formula in MSP 13 and it does not work - it brings back errors even though I have double checked it still no good - so either I am missing something or the formula is presented wrong - possibly more my fault I assume at this stage

Please advisew anyway

Thanks Brian
