Project for the Web - subtask identifier?
Hi there
Is there an easy way to identify whether a task in Project for the Web is a subtask? I'm hoping to display main project tasks only in Power BI (including a main task without subtasks).
Any advice would be much appreciated!

The only way I can see to do this would be to use the Outline Number field. Insert that field in the Grid view and take a look at the numbering scheme. Perhaps you can use the data from this field to help you generate your Power BI report. Hope this helps.

- Hi Paul, unfortunately not - filtering on the summary field will only display tasks with subtasks, not standalone tasks.
Hello MAC ,
Now I think I understand what you want to see, can't you use msdyn_parenttask and show only tasks where this field is null?

- you can view the WBS numbering to know if this is a main task or sub task
- Thanks - where can I find the WBS numbering in Project for the Web (just to clarify - I'm not using Project Online).
