Default Custom fields used in the Compare Function

Hi All



Does anyone have a list of all of the custom fields that are used in the Compare Projects function of MSP please? cant seem to find a definitive list on Google or the MSO website.

Thanks in anticipation.

Tony

I don't know of a definitive list but a quick compare reveals the Text1 through Text18 fields are used in the Comparison project report for Tasks. For Resources I see Text1-Text 27, Number1 - Number3, and Cost1-Cost3.

Thanks Julie. I have the issue that if Text fields currently are being used and have a formula already in them the comparison does not always work. I guess I will have to make copies of each file being used in the comparison function and clear out any existing formulae.

As far as I know, Tony, the fields are only used in the Comparison output and shouldn't bother data in the source file. You are attempting to compare files from the same root file, correct? They need to be copies - usually created through Save As function.
