Creating Formulas in Asta

This formula will look for a specific word (issue in this example) and give you a high priority traffic light.

 

Dont know how you'd count the number of times a word appears

 

 

A traffic light indicator to highlight any tasks whose notes contain the word issue.

Formula

If(Search("Issue",Notes)>0,High,None)

Dear Annette,



Thank you for posting your question about the Formula’s.



I have read Mike Testro’s response to you and he is correct. Unfortunately you can not create the type of formula you want within Powerproject at the moment.



We will add this to our wishlist.

Hi Annette



The columns in Powerproject work exactly as a spreadsheet.



So if the formula works in excell then it can be re created in PowerProject.



=Find(text,cell,position) will show you where the word appears in the string but I know of no formula that will count the number of times it appears in the cell.



If you have a full support licence I suggest you contact the Asta help desk by email and they will give you a quick response.



Best regards



Mike Testro
