If a Custom field is defined as Text in Project Server, but is actualy a number field, is it possible to number format it in a report (BI)?

The users have defined the field as Text, and now the field contains data, so it is not possible to change the type.
While including the field in the Report and choosing number format, it is not getting formatted (for example, if I want seperators like a comma for thousand).
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I don't think so you can directly format a text field as number in SSRS. For doing this first you have to convert your text field into Integer or Decimal (whatever is your requirement) into SQL query.
Then using SSRS textbox properties you can define the number format also can use the 1000 separator from SSRS then.
To perform this, I have created a "Test" table with 2 columns only "ProjectName" varchar(50) and ProjectDuration Varchar(9).
Then using SQL query first I converted ProjectDuration datatype from Varchar to INT using below query
SELECT ProjectName, CONVERT(int,ProjectDuration) ProjectDuration
FROM Test
Then using SSRS interface changed the ProjectDuration tect box property like this
That's all I am getting below desire result
Hope this helps you and let me know in case have any doubts.
Thanks !!!

Project Server Enterprise Text1-40 task level fields in Database?

Hello,
There are some custom enterprise text fields available for each entity, such as Enterprise Text fields 1-40 for Tasks or Resource etc.
documented here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-help/available-fields-reference-HA010370279.aspx#BM2
more:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-help/enterprise-text1-40-fields-HP001023958.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HA010370279
Now user can easily insert these fields to Project views and insert/modify data of this field. however these fields are not available within reporting databases to be queried for custom reporting.
understanding is that you can only use enterprise custom fields for reporting, but at the same time these fields are also available to be included in views and knows as Enterprise fields and not
local fields. the only additional caption available for these fields is that "Project Professional only".
but its for PP only, then why are they available within views? which means this data is also available somewhere in database.
Now, based on this assumption, does any one knows that how to retrieve this task level Enterprise Text1 field using query?
thanks.

Hi , thanks James for pointing out to the rite source, i already reached to this table prior to ur reply though :)
i agree that its not supported to read from published database, and i always stick with the recommendation to customers all the time. However you can understand that there are times when envrionmental factors are unavoidable :)
on other note, what i do not really understand is that why these fields are even available to be used in views??
may be someone able to shed light on this, for now i am marking ur reply as an answer closing this thread.
thanks again, cheers mate.

My sent text messages are received, but are from my email address rather than my phone number since updating to iOS 7.

Fellow iPhone users have complained that my text messages are not longer associated with my phone number. Instead, they see my texts messages as from my email address.
The problem started after I updated to iOS 7. How can I resolve this? I would rather not continue to confuse friends/family when they receive a text message from an email address they do not recognize when it was in fact sent from my phone.
Thank you.

Thank you!
I think it's odd that the default setting is now your email rather than your phone, however... Very confusing for me and other iPhone users I know.

How to define a unique project level custom field in project server 2010?

Hi every one;
is it possible to define a unique project level custom field?
our client wants to have a unique custom field( project code) which doesn't allow users to save and publish projects with the same value.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the custom field not render html well.
As you have known, we can use the “disable-output-escaping” to render the html, however, it not works in your environment.
As a workaround, we can use JQuery to render the html, I have made a simple code snippets to achieve this scenario, you can refer to it.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
var theTDs = $("td[id='SPFieldCustom']");
//console.log(theTDs.html());
TDContent = theTDs.text();
//console.log(TDContent);
theTDs.html(TDContent);
</script>
Note: You should change the id to fit your environment.
Thanks,
Jason

Remove custom field instead of default text field

I need migrate to SharePint 2013 from 2007.
In SharePoint 2007 List include a custom field.
Dont use the custom field again,
I want remove custom field instead of default text field (remain metadata).
How to do it ?
Thanks

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to migrate SharePoint from 2007 to 2013 with managed metadata column. Is it right?
If you need to migrate managed metadata columns, you also need to migrate the Managed Metadata Service application. however, when you use this method, only global terms are available but the local terms are not available.
So, if you used the local terms for the managed metadata column, I suggest you use a third party tool or manually re-create the column in the destination list.
There are some articles about migrating managed columns, please take a look at:

How to find Project Level Text Custom Fields in Project Server 2010 databases?

Hello,
We are using Project Server 2010 SP2 in SEM Mode. We are planning to use Project Level Local Custom fields and we want to pull them in reports using SSRS, so I am wondering which table these "Local" (non enterprise) custom fields are stored in
database.
Any suggestions?

Need to find table/field behind "Item long text" field in Notes tab in FB70

Hello,
To print a custom FI invoice, I need to access the data entered in the "Item long text" field of the Notes tab in FB70. To test, I used 5000 characters in that field to make sure it stood out from the rest of the data. F1 help does nothing on that field, and even running an SQL trace (ST05) doesn't show the text in that field being entered into any table. I tried F1 on a nearby field and got a structure instead of a table, so I investigated the structure through SE11 but found no character field with such a large capacity. How else can I find where that field is stored?

Thanks! It took a while, but with your help and a few other pages I managed to piece together an answer.
Vinod helpfully explained that the text name is a concatenation of various fields, but didn't specify how to find the line item ID. If you go to table STXH (as hinted by Brad and confirmed [here|http://fuller.mit.edu/SAPWebDocs/LongComment.html]) and search for texts created today (or whenever you were testing), you'll see the text name ends in '001' after GJAHR, so the line item ID is '001' regardless of how many line items you enter in the invoice.
Armed with that info, you can call READ_TEXT and loop through the results to concatenate the contents of each TDLINE field. (FB70 automatically breaks the user-entered text into different lines even if the user didn't press Enter, and each line gets its own record in the results.)
Thanks again,
Pedro

Condition type field when Define Pricing Procedure Determination

Hello Gurus,
there is a condition type field when Define Pricing Procedure Determination. what does it mean ?
Many thanks,
Frank Zhang

Here is are the details of various fields while configuring pricing procedure.
A. STEP
This indicates the number of step-in the procedure.
B. COUNTER
This is used to show a second ministep
C. CONDITION TYPE
This is the most important component in the pricing procedure. The rates are picked up from this element, on the basis of the properties described.
D. DESCRIPTION
This forms the description of the condition type.
E. FROM
This is used to define the progression of the calculation and range of subtotals
F. TO
This is used to define the progression of the calculation and range of subtotals
G. MANUAL
This function enables to allow the condition type to be entered manually also apart from automatic pickup.
H. MANDATORY
This function identifies the conditions that are mandatory in the pricing procedure. The sales price is a mandatory condition type.
I. STATISTICS
This can be used to represent the cost price of the material sold, generally used for study statistical impacts of price
J. PRINT
The activation of this function will enable the printing of the values and conditions to the document.
K. SUBTOTAL
A key is assigned from the drop down menu; this can be used by the system in other area like Sis for reporting purpose also
L. REQUIRMENT KEY
This function is used to assign a requirement to the condition type. This requirement can be used to exclude the system from accessing the condition type and trying to determine the value. This can be used to specify that the condition type should only be accessed if the customer has a low risk credit.
M. ALTERNATE CALCULATION TYPE
This function allows you use a formula as an alternative in finding the value of the condition type, instead of standard condition technique. this can be used to calculate complex tax structures.
N. ALTERNATE CONDITION BASE VALUE.
The alternative condition base value is a formula assigned to a condition type in order to promote an alternative base value for the calculation of a value.
O. ACCOUNTS KEY
The account keys form part of account determination. These keys are used here to define the posting of the revenue generated to respective account heads& to subsequent assignment to GL accounts.
PR00- ERL
K007/KA00- ERS.
KF00- ERFu2026u2026u2026u2026.& so On.
P. ACCRUAL KEY.
The accrual keys form part of account determination. These keys are used here to define the posting of the revenue generated to respective account heads& to subsequent assignment to GL accounts and payment to respective parties.

In Report Painter, need to find out how a field is defined.

I'm trying to find out how a field used in a current report is defined. For example, columns 2-13 are monthly columns. Double clicking on the column name (April), for example, brings up the box "Element Definition: April;$Year. The Value Field is Net Sales. Clicking the drop down box brings up a group of fields, including Net Sales.
The Field Name for Net Sales is MA0001. How do I find out how this field is defined and what accounts are included in it?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi,
Thank you for your answer. I was able to track 'Net Sales' as a part of a Key Figure Structure and as an element of Key Figure 'Net Sales'. However, when I get into CO-PA, Information System, there is no line for 'Report Components'.
There are the following lines/folders: Display Line Item List, Define Report,Current Settings, Background Processing. I looked at all the possibilities in those line items/folders and nothing was there. Is there another way to get at it?
Thanks again.

Task custom field and formula custom field don't correspond Project Server 2013

Hi people, I have an interesting case in Project Server 2013 SP1 CU Apr:
I have a custom task number field called AM. This field get's filled by a PSI action with actual material costs from an external system.
I also have a custom task cost formula field that is called AM*. This field is a formula field that has the formula [AM]. And summary tasks use the formula field as well.
As soon as I create a project, assign costs in the external system and let PSI fill the values within AM I get correct values in AM. But nothing is calculated on AM*. If I edit the project in the browser and publish, check in and revisit the project
AM* still isn't filled.
If I open the project in MS Project Pro the calculation comes through nicely, however I do not want to use MS project Pro to see correct data in browser.
Some tests I have already done:
I have noticed that when I create a new calculated task field AM2*, this get's calculated correctly on the already existing task.
I have also noticed that opening the custom field in server settings and just saving the field creates correct values on AM*.
What is going on? I don't want to save the custom formula field every day... There are 11 custom formula fields in the environment at the moment.

Hi Gary,
Thank you for the quick response. Please note that the fieldnames are [AM] and [AM*]. There is a difference in field name due to the astrix. However I did think about the situation and changing one of the field names all together didn't do anything for the
situation at hand.
It looks like some kind of refresh thing, because without changing anything in the custom field just saving the field in server settings will turn op good values. However, values already turned up good in Project Professional 2013. And that suggest
that there is a calculation error on the PWA side wouldn't you say?
Anyway, thank you for taking time to look into this matter.

My app went from working fine to: Id field not defined for cfc Path.to.my.ORMCfCPag when I restarted

Hi everyone,
I have a CF9 ORM problem that I haven't been able to figure out and thought I'd see if you had any idea. I have seen a few postings talking about a "similar" problem but none of them correctly resolved this particular issue. I appreciate any help you can offer.
I recently created a CF9 app where I generated scripted ORM CFCs for my app using ColdFusion Builder. It worked great and my app was completely working. However, when I was adding some enhancements, I ran into an error when I restarted the CF app server. Here's the message I keep getting:
"Id field not defined for cfc Path.to.my.ORMCfCPage. Either the table should have a PK column mapped to a cfc field OR at least one field should be specified as id."
My App.cfc file only had orm enabled (no other mappings) when it was working. I've since tried specifying things like the cfc location etc. and it still hasn't helped.
// MORE DETAILS:
- When my app was working, I had moved it to 2 other servers. I had this error on both of those but not on my local copy. They all use the exact same database.
- The last change I made before the error was adding a generator="identity" field to my generated ORM beans. Once I got the message, I tried changing it back and restarting again but still got the error.
- I've also made sure all of the Adobe tags are in my web root (as suggested in a prior posting about this problem). I've search all over for a solution and nobody has a solution posted online that works so far.
Do you have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks!
Jeff

Quick thought and probably not relevant, but do you have this.ormsettings.savemapping set to true in your Application.cfc? I've fallen foul of this before - once CF has generated the hbmxml files and saved them to disk you can make all kinds of changes to your code which won't make a difference as it'll continue to read from the file versions, but only for certain properties and methods at times it seems.
Long shot I know, but I found CF ORM to be a nightmare for seemingly random caching.
