Home › Forums › Microsoft Project Discussion Forum › Using ProjDateDiff Calendar
Hello,
I am using Microsoft Project 2016.
In a custom field I have a formula that utilizes the ProjDateDiff(start,finish,calender) function.
How do I specify the calendar so that ProjDateDiff uses the calendar for the resource assigned to the task?
Thank you,
Craig
ProjDateDiff( [Start], [Finish], “Resource name” ) will do it.
Hello,
Thank you for the response.
If I am applying this field to all tasks and I have several resources, how do I specify that ProjDateDiff uses the resource assigned to each task automatically. If I apply one resource name it woln’t it apply to all tasks?

You can use the Resource Names field for this purpose as in ProjDateDiff(…, …, [Resource Names]) provided that all tasks are single-resourced tasks with 100%. Otherwise it will probably return #ERROR.
