If its Custom Data Item (CDI), it will not be a calculated item and I cannot get the start day and finish day (for early and late dates) for various activities of the project.

Sorry guys..2 times i did the same mistake in posting and finaly am replying under this thread
Just check if this is working
Go Data->Custom Data Items (CDI)
Add 3 CDI
1) Name-ORDD , Type-S, length-7, Description-Ordinal data date
2) Name-ORES , Type-N, length-7, Description-Ordinal ES
3) Name-OREF , Type-N, length-7, Description-Ordinal EF
Go Format-> columns
Add the 3 CDI to display on the view
Go Tools->Global change-> Add
In the ‘then’ statement add ORDD EQ your reference date (use calendar from list)
Trial run to see if it worked as per your wish and then run
Go Tools->Project Utilities->Export
Add new
Include “Activity custom data items” to the list
In the Format tab type the name of the file with location
Select type as [.DBF]
Run
Go-Excel
Open the exported DBF file in excel
Format columns ORS & ORF in number format
Use formula
ORS= ES-ORDD
ORF=EF-ORDD+1
Drag down the formula columns till the last activities.
Copy and paste the edited columns as values only.
Save the dbf file & exit (should exit)
go p3->Tools->Project Utilities->Import
Enter the name of the exported file with extention [.DBF]
Run
This is manual method and not dynamic. Donno if some other easy methods are there. Any way back up b4 running. Welcome your comments

Hello Kris,
Global change & CDI could help you for ordinal dates showing..
Set CDIs for ordinal date of Staring Days and Finishing Day
Run global change for...
STARTDAY Equal ES - (the beginning day of the year.. ie year 1999 you have to choose 31 Dec 1998)
FINISHDAY Equal EF - (the beginning day of the year.. ie year 1999 you have to choose 31 Dec 1998)
Maybe a little help...
Best Regards,
Praves
