    hi there,

    Is it possible to format a enterprise custom numeric field in percentage (%), just like "% Complete" and "Physical % Complete"? 

    I want the Project Managers to be able to edit this field, so a calculated field probably will not do.

    Thanks in advance,

    Spyros

    Spyros --

    No, it is not possible to create a custom enterprise Number field that is user entered (not calculated) and then contains a Percent sign.  Sorry. Hope this helps.

    Thanks Dale.

    I'm trying to find a valid alternative for replicating "Physical % Complete" field functionality, because PWA keeps it read-only. Any ideas would be welcome.

    Spyros,

     

    You can create 2 fields, one where users enter the % complete as numeric value and second one with formula (calculated) that will transform this into % and use this field for display on all views.

    Hope this will work for you.
