Remove decimales in an formula in MS Project 2010

Hi,
we have created an formula for cost (actual cost /cost * 100) so we can get an % off the cost used in the project.
After som testing and trying we found on formula to use : (CStr([Actual Cost] / [Cost]) * 100) & "%"
But the % number that appers is full off decimales, like 74,186543256 %.
We dont want any decimal, just the hole number. Can you help us fix this?

Hi,
Try to update your formula as following:
Format(formula, "0%")

How to remove Decimals in Quantity Objects in SAP BO Explorer View created on top SAP Bex Query?

Hi,
I created SAP BO Explorer report on top of SAP BEx Query.
In SAP BEx Query, Decimals were hided but when i created OLAP Universe on top that SAP BEx Query and Created Index on top of Information Space in SAP BO Explorer and then created Exploration Views. But i'm getting Decimals in my Exploration Views where as SAP BEx Query in RSRT, no decimals were appearing.
Can anyone suggest me how to remove decimals in SAP BO Exploration Views.

Hi Ramana,
I am not use how you connect to SAP BEx query (Via universe or BWA or HANA)
What I could say is BWA and HANA, you cannot adjust this
For universe, you could try in universe layer, there is note about this
For BWA and HANA, this function might be enhanced but you 'd better raise OSS to SAP to check with them
Best regards

How to get rid of decimals in the formula field?

Hello,
I'm using CR 2008.
How to get rid of the decimals in the formula field? I have a field with this formula:
"" & ProperCase({DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.GameType}) &
"" & " " &
ProperCase ({DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.CustomerName}) &
" " &
ProperCase({DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.PlannerID}) &
" " & ProperCase({DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Forms}) &
" " & ProperCase({DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Notes}) &
" " & "Concepts: " & ToText(int({DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Concepts}))
The field {DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Concepts} is already an Integer in the database, so it shouldn't have any decimals, for some reason CR add them. It's easy to format a stand alone field, but how to do this in the formula?
I tried the int() function, but it didn't work. The Round(field, 0) function didn't work either - still see the numbers like 12.00 instead of 12.
I would appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Peter

I've found the solution, this way it worked:
"Concepts: " & CStr({DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Concepts}, 0)

MS Project 2010 Date Formula

Please someone help, i can get this formula to work in Excel 2010 when i replace "[Start]-[Current Date]" with cell numbers that contain dates. I have tried multiple time to get this converted to MS Project 2010 as a custom field formula.
Can anyone help me understand how to make this formula work in Project.
=IF(([Start]-[Current Date])<=14,"T-2W",IF(AND(([Start]-[Current Date])>14,([Start]-[Current Date])<=28),"T-4W",IF(AND(([Start]-[Current Date])>28,([Start]-[Current Date])<=56),"T-8W",IF(AND([Start]-[Current Date])>=56,"T-12W"))))
I am attempting to nest "IF" commands to automatically calculate planning status tollgates in Project, "T-2W", "T-4W" etc...

Hi,
First of all, you have to replace IF by IIF.
Then you do not need the AND condition.
IIf(([Start]-[Current Date])<=14;"T-2W";IIf((([Start]-[Current Date])<=28);"T-4W";IIf((([Start]-[Current Date])<=56);"T-8W";"T-12W")))
Finally, if it is still not working, depending on your regional settings, try to change the comma (,) by a semi-colon (;).
Hope this helps,

Error saving Project 2010 files to network drive - doesn't see network drive

ANSWERED (11 April 2014):
So it seems the resolution to this is to simply create a new share with a different name. I used the existing folder (to retain NTFS permissions) and just select to Add a new Share (applying the same Share permissions as the non working Shares).
Deploying this new Share via Group Policy as a test resulted in staff being able to open files from Windows Search, save files through MS Project and the Share being accessible through browsing SMB.
All problems resolved by using a new share name for the existing folder. Seems to be a corruption in the namespace.
Note: I had previously deleted the share and recreated it. I had removed all NTFS permissions and readded (through both the GUI and icacls). This didn't make a difference.
Only changing the name of the share fixed the problem.
Original Question
Already
posted here... but Microsoft Support has not responded.
It seems some staff on some computers are having problems saving MS Project files to the network. This is only since an upgrade to SBS2011 (from SBS2003). The only difference now, is that network drives are mapped via group policy rather than a 'net
use' script.
This is affecting users on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, with either MS Project 2007 or 2010. The users have full change access to the folders and can create new files and modifying existing files, just not a MS Project file. Other file tyes, e.g
Word .docx, Excel .xlsx, Adobe .pdf files, all work fine. These files can be opened, edited and saved normally without problem.
To replicate this:
The user opens an existing file or creates a new file on the network folder (either through Windows Explorer or MS Project). They then click File > Save in MS Project and receive the following error (see pic below):
An interesting symptom of this is that if you select File > Save As in MS Project, the Sae As dialog box doesn't remeber the path location of the network drive. MS Project instead prompts to save the file in the local users documents folder (see pic below):
If they browse back to the original folder where the file was saved and choose to save it there, they are of course, prompted to overwrite the existing file and they can save the file. But the same thing happens every time they open the file.
It seems the problem is that Project isn't seeing the path of the file or that the network drive is attached.
If a user closes the file without saving it, they are prompted to save the file and the prompt shows the drive path:
Do you want to save changes to "N:\... Projects\Active Projects\CC...\F4 Project Plan File\004 Programme\test project file.mpp"?
But choosing to save the file gives them the same result as Save As, they are prompted for a new location as if the original file location doesn't exist.
I have disconnected the mapped drive and connected it again using net use but get the same error.
I have reinstalled MS Project 201, installed Project 2010 SP2 and installed Windows updates and it does the same thing, exactly the same symptoms.
Further, if the user opens a file from the network drive, the file shows in the Project recent files list. If they try to open the file from the recent files list in project they get the following error:
"Project cannot open the file.
-Check that the file name and path are correct.
-Check that the file format is recognized by Project.
Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project 98 can't be opened...."
This is a test file that I created on the user's computer and network drive, This is being opened with the same version it was created in. If I browse to the folder in Windows Explorer I can open the file. Of course, I then can't save the file (I still get
the original error). I'm logged on with Domain Admin privileges.
I've checked these links from other threads (neither apply to my scenario):
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983458/en-us|
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/excel/thread/2eeea140-7e6c-4cb9-a89b-06d2102bd9f7/
I've downloaded my TechNet version of he software and installed it with Sp2 and Windows updates and it does the same thing. This also happens on the Remote Desktop server (Server 2008 R2) using MS Project 2007.

Case 1
This error message appears when the document is open on two or more computers that are running different operating platforms. For example,
if the document is open on a Macintosh computer and you open it on a second computer running Windows or Windows NT, the error occurs when either user tries to save the document.
This problem stems from a difference between the ways Macintosh OLE and Windows OLE open files. As a result, you cannot save a file on two different operating platforms at the same time.
Case 2
This error occurs in Word 97 for Windows if you save to a MAPROOT type network drive connection on a NetWare server where spaces exist in
the file or folder name.
Case 3
This problem may occur if an anti-virus program running on a network has the ability to scan for macro viruses in documents in shared network
folders.
For example, if you have the following:
a shared folder on a network server
-and-
an anti-virus program is running on the network server that is set to monitor the shared folder,
when you attempt to save a document (across the network) to the shared folder, the anti-virus checker may cause the error to occur.
Case 4
This problem may occur on Novell networks when the AutoRecover files path is either blank or set to a network drive.
According each, please try the following workaround:
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods appropriate to your situation.
Case 1
Method 1:
Move the document to your local hard disk for editing. Move it back to the server after you finish.
Method 2:
Save a copy of the
file with a different
file name, and work on the copy, either on your hard disk or on the server.
Case 3
Method 1:
Move the document to your local hard disk for editing. Move it back to the server after you finish.
Method 2:
Do not use spaces in the directory or document names.
Method 3:
Do not use MAPROOT-drive connections. Map your drive connections to the volume-level only.
Case 4
Turn off the anti-virus protection on the network server and then try to
save the document. Contact your anti-virus protection software company for additional details and/or updates to their programs.
Case 5
Set the AutoRecover files path to your local drive. To change the AutoRecover path, use the following steps:
1.
On the Tools menu, click Options.
2.
On the File Locations tab, select AutoRecover files and then click Modify.
3.
Change the Modify Location dialog box to a
folder on your local drive and then click OK.
4.
Click OK to close the Options dialog box.
Hope that helps.

SCCM 2012 - Project 2010 Standard deployment failed with error 1603

Hi everyone,
I’m in the progress to roll out a software deployment via SCCM 2012, it’s to remove the current Project 2010 Professional we installed and reinstall the Standard version. We got a task sequence for the job, which is Reboot>Un-install Project 2010 Pro>Reboot>Install
Project 2010 Std.
The Un-installation process uses this command: setup.exe /uninstall PrjPro /config "PrjPro.WW\uninstall.xml"
The Installation process uses this command: setup.exe /adminfile project_silent_install.MSP
But the deployment result is quite random, some of the PCs would succeed without any issue, some of them with fail at the installation process with 1708/1603 error. As far as I know we use standard Win 7 64bits SOE across the environment, so everyone should
have same system baseline.
I reviewed some of the failed Project 2010 Standard installation logs as it shows the following:

Can onyone enlighten me what's went wrong, and why did I get this inconsitent installation behaviour?
Thank you very much!!!

1603 means there is a fatal error during installation process.
Take a look at the article below. It may help on finding cause.
Hi Juke,
I did do fair a bit of Googling before I started the post. I have increased the logging level on one of the machines failed on the installation. Apparently Project installation log doesn't throw the "return value 3", I think it's pointing to a particular
updating item, anyone knows what is it?

Cannot Open Project 2010 file in Project 2013

I have a 2010 Project file that will not open in Project 2013. It seems to be something dealing with predecessors and successors. Project 2013 stop responding when I try to open the file, and when I try to copy the information from Project 2010 and paste
in 2013 it give me an error on every predecessors and successors and does not copy the predecessors and successors. The error is "A pasting error occurred on ID nn in the predecessors or successors column. The information is not valid". then it remove
the predecessors or successors, however, the information in the predecessors and successors are valid line numbers in the file, they work fine in Project 2010.
Has anyone came across this?

ProfMelle --
There is a possibility that this file has somehow gotten corrupted. You might try the following:
Open the troublesome project in Project 2010.
Click File > Save As and save it as an XML file.
Close the file.
Open the XML file and use the Import Wizard to create a new project.
Save the new MPP file over the old one.
Now try opening the MPP file from 2010 in Microsoft Project 2013.
Let us know if this helps.

Sorting grouped tasks in MS Project 2010

Dear Forum,
I created a view and grouped the tasks in MS Project 2010. The following problem comes up: As I can only change between "ascending" and "descending" while creating the Group, all my tasks sort alphabetically but I want to have them
arranged in chronological order. When I try to sort them, they stay as they are.
One solution I could think of would be to add for example numbers in front of my tasks (e.g. 1_task1, 2_task2..) so Project would arrange them accordingly but that would not look nice, neither would I have to Change it manually each time.
Another solution would be to create a custom field including the sequence and then Group my tasks accordingly but I was wondering if any of you folks know any smart solution to this problem?
Regards,
Heiner

Heiner,
I believe the attached link explains that unfortunately what you are requesting is not possible. I was looking for something similar to this as well.
http://www.msofficeforums.com/project/10176-groups-sorted-start-date-ms-project.html
I'm using PWA 2010 and open up a portfolio of projects at one time. The best work around I have found is remove the grouping, insert the field called "Project", and then sort by Project, then by start date.
Good luck,
Sandy

Microsoft Project 2010 Error/Bug Using Filters and AutoFilters

Dear Community Members/Team,
I came across an error/bug while using Filter and AutoFilter options in Microsoft Project 2010. The details are as under:
I have an MS Project 2010 file which has total 3049 activities (IDs).
The linking process (predecessors and successors) is almost complete.
In MS Project 2010 software console, in the bottom left most corner, I have right clicked and enabled the options of "Filter" and "AutoFilter".
In the "View" tab located at top console, I have selected "[No Filter] against the "Filter" icon. Also, from the drop down arrow against the "Filter"
icon, I have enabled "Display AutoFilter". As a result I can see drop down arrows in front of all columns displayed in the file.
I have displayed columns "Duration", "Start", "Finish", "Total Slack", etc.
I used the drop down arrow appearing in front of "Total Slack" column, and I can see some options. At the bottom I can see all the "Total Slack" values with
scroll option available and all the boxes here are checked. I remove the check box in "Select All" field and manually select any random value such as "-11.17 wks".
To my surprise, some values when selected, they are displayed correctly with the relevant activities shown. However some of the values which I select are not appearing and the relevant
activities are not shown and only empty rows are shown. So I use "Clear Filter" and try some other option.
Now, to find those activities, I have to click on the drop down arrow in front of "Total Slack" column, Go to "Filters", and select the last option "Custom".
Now I select show rows where Total Slack "equals" and I select any value from drop down arrow appearing in front of "equals", I can see all those values of "Total Slack" and I randomly select the same value for e.g. "-11.17
wks". This time the relevant activity is displayed correctly which was not shown by using the above method of selecting a certain value by selecting a check box from drop down arrow appearing against any column.
I hope to have a response from the community.
Regards,
Usman

Hi Usman,
Strangely we are having the exact same discussion with another member here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/0ae3530f-6760-4ef9-afd9-6028258a490e/autofilter-feature-malfunctioning?forum=projectprofessional2010general
Please go through this thread and tell us if it brings some light. Particularly try with a brand new file to reproduce the error. It could see the error on Ahmad's file, but couldn't reproduce it on a brand new file.
Hope this helps,

Creation of a Multi-Year Product Roadmap in Project 2010

I am looking to see if I can efficiently create a product roadmap using Project 2010. For a given business unit in our corporation I have product categories and under those categories I have products and/or projects I want to show on a timeline. I
was able to brute force this into a timeline but I would think there is an easier way to do this.
For example, I would like to be able to put the description of the product/project inside the bar on the ghantt chart but I get an error when I try to do that. I increased the bar height to allow for legible text but still no luck.
I want each entry for a given product category to automatically produce a bar of the right color with starting and ending symbols as needed based on the type of entry I add (product versus project).
Is there any way to add an outline to the bars of different colors to designate the difference between a sustaining, anticipated, active, and discontinued product or project?
Or would I be better served to go find an aftermarket piece of software that will do this type of work instead of trying to use MS Project for something it wasn't specifically designed?
Thank you for any feedback.
Andy

Hi Andy,
Here is a
tutorial that might help you coloring your bar style. This is based on the resource name but you could have a custom field with your product category which trigger a flag then the bar style will be formated
based on the flag.
Then about the description in the bar, I'm afraid this is not intended for this purpose. What about the note fields?
Hope this helps,

How to export data from MS Project 2010 to MS Excel 2010 with formatting

I have created a Project 2010 export map to Excel 2010. It works fine. I have two questions that I cannot determine an answer. I'm not sure if its a project or excel setting. I have spend hours trying to make it
work with little success.
1. When the task name field is exported to excel it losses summary/task indent. Is there a way to set it up so it works via the export map?
2. The Start & Finish fields in project is setup as 5/26/11 when they exports to excel it shows up as 5/26/11 8:00 AM. Is there a way to set it up either in project export map or excel so its formated as a date field.
Excel's Format Cell function does not seem to work converting them back to just 5/26/11.
How can I keep the outlines and formatting in my data while exporting it to Excel.
I would appreciate any guidance.
Yogesh

Can't open Project 2010 file in Project 2007

I am trying to open a Project 2010 file in Project 2007, I get an error that asks if I would like to download the converter and I say yes and get a generic product page for Project 2010. I can't locate the file that I need, how do I find it?

Addressed here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-help/opening-project-mpp-files-from-different-versions-HA001045020.aspx
You have reached this page because the Project MPP file that you are trying to open was created in a later version of Microsoft Project. Check below to determine if a converter for opening later files is available to you.
Which Project version are you using?
Which file version are you trying to open?
Notes
Project 2007
Project 2010
No converter is available. If you received a Project 2010 file that you want to open using Project 2007, ask the person who sent the file to first save it to the Project 2007 file format.
Alternately, you can install the free
trial version of Project 2010, and then view the file, or save it to the Project 2007 file.
Note Once the trial version of Project 2010 has expired, it can continue to open and view project files, but it won’t be able to save them.
Project 2003
Project 2007
There are two possibilities here.
If you are using Project 2003 with SP3, project files from Project 2007 can be opened read-only.
Download Microsoft Office Project 2003 Service Pack 3.
If you are using Project 2003 without SP3, there is no converter available. Upgrade to Project 2003 with SP3, or ask the person who sent the Project 2007 or later file to save the file first in the Project 2000-2003 file format.
Project 2003
Project 2010
No converter is available. Ask the person who sent the Project 2010 file to save the file first in the Project 2000-2003 file format.
Project 2000 or Project 2002
Project 2007 or Project 2010
No converter is available. Ask the person who sent the Project 2007 or later file to save the file first in the Project 2000-2003 file format.
Project 98
Project 2000 and later versions
No converter is available. Consider upgrading to the latest version of Project, or install the free
trial version of Project 2010 to try out Project’s enhanced functionality.
Alternately, ask the person who sent the Project 2000-2003 file to save the file first in the Project 98 file format.
Note Project 2007 and later versions of Project do not have the ability to save to the Project 98 file format.”

MS Project 2010 with Outlook 2013 - "send as attachment" missing function / not working

Office 2013 Professional running on Windows 7 (64bit).
After Re-installing MS Project 2010 today the option under
File (alt-f) --> 'Save & Send' --> 'Send as Attachment' is shaded out / unavailable.
Is this a known integration gap between the older MS Project and Current Outlook ? Alternatively, does anyone have any recommendations to troubleshoot and / or enable the function within MS Project 2010?
Thanks for any suggestions , guidance or pointers.
p.s I have tried completing a repair on Office 2013 and the MS Project 2010 from within the control panel.
This functionality is working with all other Office 2013 applications in the suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Visio etc.)

Julie ,
Kinda / sorta ... In Mid 2014 I had MS Project installed and working (I can't confirm if the Send as Attachment was working at that time...) A few days ago I was sent an '.mpp' (MS Project file) for review. When I attempted to open it MS Project
gave me a warning message that it needed to start in safe mode but then failed to start. This seemed weird and thus began two days of googling and investigation.
I elected to uninstall (which also failed) and reinstall (which also failed) the MS Project 2010 since I have the media at hand to do so. At this point I was really truly 'stuck' (p.c term for the younger audience reading this).
My course of action was to engage Microsoft Support (specifically the MS Office group). They verified some registry entries, confirmed installation of MS Project 2010 , confirmed files were installed , available and in the appropriate
spots (files etc.) , tried a few 'fixit' tools , made multiple suggestions that I spend $1000+ on upgrading to MS Project 2013. After ~90 minutes or so they were able to 'Force' the orphaned installation to uninstall. (although
they needed to install and use a 3rd party tool to do it) We then re-installed MS Project 2010 and verified it could start.
After using project a little bit I realized that 'Send as Attachment' option was non-functional. I spent a few hours trying to research (more google) and finally threw in the towel and cried out for help (i.e posted the message that started this
thread).
Thanks again for any suggestions or wisdom you are willing to share.

Issue with turning on project 2010 / 2013 - "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."

I get the following error after the installation and configuration window of MS Project: "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."
It happens both with MS Project 2010 and 2013 on a Windows 7 desktop.
I tried installing / uninstalling Office 2010, MS Project, tried installing 32 and then 64 bit versions, clean up, disk error checker, startup changes (msconfig), anti virus, running as Windows 7 and then Windows XP compatible mode.
Nothing helps. I see this issue reported as early as 2007 version of MS projects on Microsoft forums, but I do not see any solution anywhere. Any suggestions on how to fix the issue without having to reformat hard drive? Every other application, including
all other Office programs work seamlessly.
I also tried Microsoft support, after an hour and a half of basically doing what I did before, I was told I have to pay 99$ for "premium" support, so someone can look at this bug.
I have 16 Gb RAM and more than 200Gb or hard drive free, so actual memory is not the problem.

This issue was originally reported with MS Project 2007 and keeps popping up since.
A quick Google search provides more than 200K pages of results of this issue:
https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=There+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+To+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren't+using%2C+and+then+try+again.
And 193K results on Bing:
http://www.bing.com/search?q=There+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+To+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren%27t+using%2C+and+then+try+again.&go=Submit&qs=n&form=QBLH&pq=there+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+to+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren%27t+using%2C+and+then+try+again.&sc=0-0&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=4cb023c1fbd94ec2bba9821b095f21f2
Computer was defragged already. I run more tests, and specifically when MS Projects tries to run, it tries to take all memory, more than 300Gb, on the computer. (DropBox was running at the same time, and warned that there were no space. As soon as MS Project
stopped attempting to configure itself, everything came back to normal and the available space became available again.)
Looking through older forum posts, looks like this application tries to take "unlimited" amount of memory. Some registry fixes are mentioned potentially, but I was not able to apply them.
Since everything else works, this is a MS Project bug reported by multiple users on various versions of Windows, including Vista and 7, so please provide a fix and not 'not a know bug' lie. All the premium support will say, is to format the hard drive, unless
they have a patch or a registry edit solution. If the latter is true, since the issue exists for multiple years, it should have been already been provided to users.
Also, I am not running a SQL server, or any server, this is an installation on a local machine.

Project 2010 SP1 Installation Crashes

I'm trying to create a package that will handle both brand new installations for Project 2010 as well as upgrade installations for those running Project 2007, the latter of which represents a large population in our environment.
I basically followed the same process I used when creating packages for Office 2007, Office 2010, Project 2007 and Visio 2007, all of which work today:
run setup.exe /admin
create a new .msp
make my adjustments (very few)
save into Updates directory
customized PrjPro.WW\config.xml (after first creating a backup!)
run setup.exe
I'm testing the package on a machine that previously had Project 2007, but after running for a short time, setup crashes. I thought maybe the problem was with the config.xml so I undid the changes one at a time, then moved up to restoring the orignal
config.xml file but it continues to crash.
There's a setup log in %temp% that contains what may be the core issue

I'm beginning to wonder if there's an issue with the existing Project 2007 installation, or the way it was uninstalled [by the Project 2010 setup] - but maybe its something altogether different.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

My point above is that Project 2007 was extremely buggy and unless files are saved using Project 2007 SP3 first you are likely to experience problems with the files when opening in project 2010. Project 2007 to 2010 with no service packs is problematic.
With SPs applied you should have far fewer problems.
Doesn't look like a exe with SP2 is available yet so you need to add the service pack separately, probably in the updates folder.
If all Project 2007 installs are already at SP3 then no need for this.
