Válasz Custom Fields Rollup Rule

    Hello,
    I create a Duration Custom Task Field named "FV" and set a formula "= Finish Variance" to generate its data.
    At the beginning, I choose "do not calculate summary row" by selecting "None". Obviously,I can see MSP displays the data with the value of "0".
    After I choose to rollup data by using formula, MSP re-generates the data using the formula like nonsummary tasks.
    But, once I change the setting back to "None" , the summary rows data remain the same as that using formula instead of changing it back to "0".

    ps. this is also an issue in MSP 2007.

    Regards,
    Winson

    Hello Winson,

    Yes, I see this as well.  I don't believe I'd call it a bug however as it is consistent with all custom fields.  If you remove the formula [Finish Variance] form the custom duration field, you'll still see the values remain in the field that were calculated by the formula.

    I hope this helps.
