Project Online - Business Drivers matrix table in Power BI
Hi! After classifying our ongoing projects we could get to this matrix table in Project Online: There are 6 Business Drivers where each project contributes on a rating scale (None, Low, Moderate, Strong, Extreme) I am stuck on Power BI to find the relation between each Project, the rating scale and each Business Driver to be able to build the same matrix table in Power BI: Any help would be much appreciated!
Track equipment capacity in MS Project
Hello, I have decent experience using MS Project desktop but currently struggling with how or if MS project is able to track equipment capacity in terms of quantity/units. Ideally, I would like project to alert/show capacity for an equipment based on task start/end date show capacity for future planning. For example, I have 70 samples to run on the equipment but capacity is 40 samples. I know that the 70 samples can't go through, but how can I set the equipment capacity in project to call this out? I have been tinkering with resource sheets, names, %, but don't understand how to manipulate it so that if I set an equipment capacity at 40 units (not %), it will show me capacity alerts. I also want to enter in tasks that are happening months out and would like capacity alerts to be called out in this situation too. This is how I'm tracking it in project. I don't want to put each sample as it's own line item as there are many projects with X samples so I keep it as a high level task with the project and associated sample count. Maybe it's how I am tracking that doesn't allow for tracking capacity in units? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.
Project web app- No up to date data via OData feed
Hi all, we are working with the project web app. The Data stored in the project web app is pulled via the OData feed connector into a PowerBI report. The project web app is hosted on https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa, the data is pulled from https://thoenigroup.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata The connection and data refresh was working for months without an issue, last week I have added two enterprise custom fields in the PWA and made some changes to the Enterprise Global. When opening the enterprise global a cache limit error appeared in Project Desktop, which was resolved by deleting the cache. I had to do a forced check in of the enterprise global in the PWA settings. I also got an error when loading the "Tasks" table in Power BI, an issue with one of the newly added enterprise custom fields was reported. This issue just appeared once, seems now to be resolved. Since then, I have not gotten any up to data from the PWA via the OData feed into PowerBI. When looking directly in the PWA the data gets updated, but gets not submitted via the OData feed anymore, some "old" versoin of the data gets submitted, I can run the data refresh against the OData feed without any issue but returns only "old" data. I also have 2 "Project Save from Project Professional" jobs under "Manage queue jobs" with job type "Cancelled" which I cannot remove / cancel from the list. How can I solve this? Thanks in advance

How to surface Project Online resources added to a project but have no assignments in Power BI
In Project Online, we add resources from our enterprise resource pool to projects using the "build team" functionality. Once the team is built for a project we may or may not assign some or all of those resources to tasks in the project. I want to create a Power BI report that shows all of the resources on a project team regardless of whether they have assignments or not. I can get the resources that have assignments, but I cannot figure out how to surface the resources that are on the project team but do not have assignments.
PWA Data connections - OData Risks erros
Good afternoon everyone, I am trying to connect my PWA to PBI, and I can connect all the data connections except for the risks. Does anyone know if there is some incorrect configuration or if there is a workaround I can try? I have also tried to connect through SharePoint Online, but it does not find data related to risks. In case it's important, this PWA is already in the new settings. Thank you.
"Finish" Value in Project Center
Hello Comrades, I was hoping that one of you may be able to help me clarify what value a field is displaying in the Project Online (PWA) Project Center. The field in question is the "Finish" field, shown below. Originally, we were assuming that this was the "Finish date" of the project set in the Project Information, in the Project desktop app. However, that does not appear to be true. As we have started to run into cases where projects are published and the "Finish date" in the Project Information section does not match the "Finish" value in Project Center. It seems as though Project Center is either showing the "ProjectLateFinish" date of the project OR the "Finish" of the top-level task in the project? I have been unable to find any documentation on what value is showing in Project Center. Thanks! Chris
