Extract Data with VBA in the Project
Hi guys, I need some help.I need to extract data from the project to connect to Power BI. I'm currently using the feature in the database model by going to Report>Visual Report>Save Data Select: Task SummaryField Picker (for custom fields) Save Database However, the chronogram is too large and I'm getting an error on this screen asking me to reduce/separate the project. I wanted to do this export in VBA, I even tried using the VBA code below, but I couldn't find a parameter to export the custom fields. Sub Macro1() VisualReportsSaveDatabase strNamePath:="C:\Users\tulio.oliveira\Downloads\Chronogram_Consolidated_V5.mdb", PjVisualReportsDataLevel:=pjLevelWeeks End Sub

task drop down not working
I have a project running with a number of task sections with indents, one of these has stopped displaying the sub tasks when i click on the triangle icon ( hope this makes sense) . All others are working. Is there an easy fix or would it be better to re-write this section?

Retrieve the original Project end-date
Good day! When creating a new project, I can choose the Project End date. Now, it's not uncommon that this date changes along the line. For instance, this change when one of the timelines changes in the Gantt-view. I was wondering if the end-date that was originally set and saved in the project, can be retreived somewhere so we can take it into account in a report? So we can report on the difference between the origin value and the most recent value? Thanks in advance!

Notification not working on projects for the web
Hello! My team of 12 part-time employees and I recently switched from MS Planner to Projects on the web. As they have been updating/combining Planner and Projects we have found we are no longer receiving notifications when a task/project is complete in Projects. We have checked our settings to no avail. Any tips?

Excel Reporting : Can't connect to calendars with OData anymore (v2)
Hello everyone, Some of you may remember my previous thread about the same-ish issue (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/project/excel-reporting-can-t-connect-to-calendars-with-odata-anymore/m-p/4132119) that ended up being solved by a Project Online patch. But somehow, the issue returned. Not the same cause, since it has nothing to do with authentication this time, but the same symptoms : trying to fetch Calendar Exceptions data from an Excel OData query doesn't work anymore. When trying to get the data, I am getting "Error 400 : Cannot get a CSOM-compatible PJContext for an HTTP request that started outside of CSOM." It seems the issue started this morning on my client's tenant. Has anyone else experienced the same issue ?

Limiting Resources
I have a project that has two types of resources. One can provide 100% effort to the project (Resource A), and another only 80% (Resource B). I am setting the work effort, and trying to ensure that the durations are appropriate. For example, an 80-hr task for Resource A should take 2wks, but the same task for Resource B should take 2.67wks based on the availability. I've tried setting various calendars (such as a 7hr day for Resource B), and availabilities in the resource tabs, but I'm guessing I'm doing those wrong as no matter what the duration remains at 2wks. Appreciate any help!

Adding Resources to Project Web App
When I try to add a new person, I get this error. The problem is I have no idea what or where it is referring to. Not sure what hyperlink address it is talking about nor where it is in the creation of a new resource.

Project Detail Page (PDP) in Project Online not saving added fields when Stop Editing clicked
Hello friends. I've encountered a strange situation in which I am editing a PDP in Project Online that I've customized in the recent past. I wish to add two Enterprise Custom Fields to a Basic Info web part. I follow the standard steps of Edit Page > Edit Web Part > click the Modify button for Displayed Project Fields > select the two fields and click the ">" button > click Apply and confirm they show in the web part > click OK to commit > click the Stop Editing button. The page then defaults back to the previous state. I logged into two different browsers, cleared cache, and turned on the Versioning settings for the library, using Check In and Out, then reverted back to No Versioning. I will be checking with other admins to see if they have the same outcome tomorrow, but wondered if anyone else had experienced this situation?
