Forward and Backward Pass Activity on Node Diagrams in MS Project 2010

Project Management Asked by user4434 on October 26, 2021

I want to make Forward and Backward Slack Activity on Node Diagrams in MS Project 2010.

I display the Network Diagram view and choose Format > Box Styles. I Click the More
Templates button and in the Data Templates, dialog, select an
existing template and copy it. I Give the new template a name in
the Data Definition dialog window. Towards the bottom of the
Data Definition dialog window in the "Choose Cells" section I
can specify which fields to place in which area.

I want to define four custom number fields ES, LS,
EF, and LF.

ES = ProjectDateDiff([ProjectStart],[EarlyStart])/[MinutesPerDay]

EF = ProjectDateDiff([ProjectStart],[EarlyFinish])/[MinutesPerDay]

LS = ProjectDateDiff([LateStart],[ProjectFinish])/[MinutesPerDay]

LF = ProjectDateDiff([LateFinish],[ProjectFinish])/[MinutesPerDay]

but it seems MS Project doesn’t allow formulas or custom fields.

How can I do a formula in a box field or formula ? Is it possible ?

One Answer

No, it's not possible to use formulas directly in the field selector for the network box templates. Instead, use formulas to populate custom number fields for the ES, EF, LS, and LF ordinals. Then select these custom fields for the box template.
