Task Status Field

Hi, I'm using MS Project Online combined with desktop version. In the desktop version, there is a field Status in task view. This is useful when needing to filter tasks by status. For my report...

Hello Peter_MSP ,

This Task Status field is not available in Project Online, it is a Project Desktop field. You could look to replicate the calculation / create a similar task status field calculation. Here are the details on how the default Task Status field is calculated: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/status-task-field-769145ac-e052-45af-a847-e5ef15778bb1

Paul,

I have followed your recommendation. If anyone else is looking for a solution, I was able to recreate the field calculation as per the conditions in your link. I did this in Power BI, as the local fields in PS Project Desktop don't connect to Power Bi dashboard.

Peter_Eng Here is the DAX function I used

Taskstate = if((TODAY() > Tasks[TaskDeliverableFinishDate] && Tasks[TaskPercentCompleted] <> 100),"Late",if(Tasks[TaskPercentCompleted]>99,"Completed", if(Tasks[TaskPercentCompleted]=0,"Not Started", "On Schedule")))

Could you help check this ?
