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.
