Hello mahnazansari ,
This feature is only in Project Online as you have seen, it is not in Project for the web unfortunately.

Hi Dale,
I came across this post and have a similar need and another question. We are using Project Online's Project Center for enterprise projects. I have also introduced Project for the Web for use by project managers for projects that are lightweight, collaborative. The main reason we continue to use Project Online is for the Project Center capability - easy dashboard across projects. I was hoping to soon have everyone use Project for the Web, as it is easier for people to use but it is lacking in many areas still. To be honest, Project for the Web and its evolution is so slow - new enhancements move at a snail pace. One Question (out of so many) - Is it possible to use Power BI reporting to mesh data from both DataVerse(Project for the Web) and Project Online into one dashboard? Second question - how can you add a standard column in Project for the Web that itwill carry through for ALL project created. (for example, Business Unit - with dropdown values). So, that I can report on projects by Business Unit, for example.
I am new to this community, so let me know if I not using this forum correctly. Thank you.

Karen_Chappell -- To the best of my knowledge, I am not aware of any way to create a Power BI report that collects data from Project Online AND Project for the Web. Also, regarding the creation of enterprise custom columns in Project for the Web, the application does not yet offer this feature. Keep in mind that it is a low-end tool that is intended for small and simple projects; and it is NOT a full enterprise project management tool like Project Online. Sorry, but hope this helps.
