How to display Work in days within Project Center - Projects page?

Hi all, I need to show Work in Days within the Project Center view under PWA (Project Online).

 

I found on some old TechNet forum a very old thread with the same question dated 2011 stating that this is not possible.

 

I wonder if in the last 10 years the problem has been resolved or if a workaround has been found out by someone. How do I show Work units in days within a "Project Center - Projects" view (whether it is a built-in view or a custom defined view)?

 

Thank you

    After creating the custom Project field, you need to open each project, press the F9 function key to recalculate it, then save and publish the project.

    Paolone67 -- By default, Duration is shown in Days and Work is shown in Hours in the Project Center page. There is no way to change this as far as I am aware. Sorry, but hope this helps.

        Paolone67 -- Well, if you want a workaround, your application administrator would need to create an enterprise custom Project field of the Duration type, and then enter a formula that converts the Work value from Hours to Days. And then this custom field would need to be added to Project Center views wherever needed. Hope this helps.
