How to add column in Project for the web app
Hello Nat37 ,
If you used the 2nd link to add the new columns to the Dataverse tables, these will be accessible in Power BI. Here is an article on how to add new columns to the Power BI template / report: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/extend-the-power-bi-template-for-project-for-the-web-23fb86a7-e1b2-45fc-b82b-8f64ae44c51c

I am totally confused which software you are using. From your description, it sounds like you are using the relatively new Project for the Web application, whose URL is projects.microsoft.com. Is that correct? If not, then you may be using either Project Online or Project Server, and you are describing what you see in the Project Center page in Project Web App.
Would you please confirm which software application you are using, as the answer to your question depends on which software application you are using. Let us know. Thanks!
Sorry for the confusion.
I am using the "Project for the Web application," and whose URL is ending with Dynamics.com
Hello Nat37 ,
Here are some guides on adding custom columns.
If this is just for one project in the Project UI: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-custom-field-in-project-839d206f-b314-48f5-aa06-79140db93b94
If you want this for all projects and in the Model driven app UI: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/project-for-the-web/add-custom-column-project-power-app

- Thanks Paul,
I was able to add data for my new field using the UI:second link you provided.
My dataverse is linked with Power BI and I have refreshed both but I don't see this new column in my dashboard being added to Projects table yet. Any advice on that?Hello Nat37 ,

God it. You are using the Project for the Web model driven app in Dynamics CRM. And you are describing the My Active Projects view that contains those default columns. If you click the Edit columns button, the system displays the Edit Columns sidepane on the right side of the screen. In the Edit Columns sidepane, you can click the + Add Columns button at the top and the system displays the list of all available default and custom columns. As it currently exists, it does not appear there is any way to create your own custom Project Type column. Sorry, but hope this helps.- Hi Dale,
Using your approach, I could add the column I wanted, but we cannot enter the date corresponding to each project in the new column.
We don't have that functionality, I believe.
