Getting values of "start" and "end" for a summary task
Hello,
I have trouble getting the value (the date) printed in "start" or "end" column for summary tasks.
For some of the summary tasks i get "NC" or the starting date of the project.
Looking forward to your help
- gautiercoadou,
Thanks for the screen shot. It allowed me to understand and determine what is wrong. I think the issue is a simple matter of you forgetting to check the box to use the formula for "calculations for task and group summary rows" for your custom date field "Copie ? fin".

Are you using Manually Scheduled tasks in your project? If so, change them to Auto Scheduled and let us know what happens. Thanks! - Gautiercoadou,
First of all, what version of Project are you using (i.e. Project desktop, Project plan 1, 3 or 5, etc.)?
When you say "printed" do you mean what you see on your screen or what you see when you print?
Are your tasks auto-scheduled or manually scheduled?
A screen shot would be extremely helpful.
JohnFirst of all thanks for you answer
I use Project desktop version 2301 build 16026.20200
Below you can see a printscreen
A littrle bit of explanations here
"Début" means "start",
"Fin" means "End"
"Copie ? début" is a date-type custom fiels with a formula [Copie ? début] = [début]
"Copie ? fin is a date-type custom fiels with a formula [Copie ? fin] = [fin]
I also tried with start-type custom field but it still didn't work
As you can see, fo my summary task Marché GOF
the value of "Copie ? début " should be 27-02-23, and i get "03-02-20"
the value of "Copie ? début " should be 06-07-23, and i get "NC"
