Filter custom field/T date

Terry

I have created priority/importance field from a Status dropdown (high/critical), I am trying to apply a filter which contains those words for the selected importance field but it’s not showing tasks. Is there another way to do this?

Also, is there a way to show a date for range within the filter ‘within 14 days’, or ‘T plus 14 days’?

Terry Would you post a screenshot of your filter?

For a filter on date range…

Supposedly your project looks like this…

(the red line is the status date, which is the current date unless you select another date in the Settings)

Your filter could be defined thus…

Thanks Vicky, this is great for the ‘within x days’ filter.

But I am still struggling to filter or group by a custom status field, I have one named ‘Importance’, with the entries: Medium, High, Critical. But a cannot filter by those options or group by. When filtering the option of Importance only shows if set to Activity, but does not filter with results.

Terry Can you provide a screenshot of the filter criteria?

Sure, see attached

Hi Terry,

are there two fields called 'Importance'?
When I create a filter for the status field importance 'high', I can only select 'is equal to' or 'is not equal to'

In your screenshot I see 'contains'…

This is how the filter works fine for me.

Maybe you want to send your project file to Merlin Project support so we can advise best: support@projectwizards.net
