I am working on a report on MS Project 2013. In this report there is chart.

The chart is based :

  • NumberOftasks (Y-axis) which is a custom field of type number.
  • Localization (X-axis) which is done by Grouping the tasks by localization (it is a custom text field).

The awkward situation is that I have a custom field of type text, called typeOftask which take two values : either A or B.

I would like to draw clustered column chart that take in consideration the typeOfTask so that the column is divided into two values : the number of tasks of type A and the number of tasks of type B.

Something like this : enter image description here

Please, how to do that in MS Project 2013 ? I know it is possible ?

  • Sorry, but I'm not clear. You have 2 or three custom fields? Number of tasks which is a number field with a formula? A count? What is localization? A text field? And you've grouped by the field? And to that, you want it further broken down by A & B? What relationship does the number of tasks have to A & B? Have you tried modifying your group to group first by Localisation and then by Type of Task?

  • I have three custom fields : NumberOfTasks, Localisation, and typeOfTask , NumberOfTask is a Number (for each task I put 1 and get the count of tasks by sum in summary tasks).

  • localization is a custom field that contains cities .... it is Text custom field. I grouped the tasks by Localization. When I group by Localization and typeOfTask I don't get a modified chart, rather the axis that is modified if you know what i mean.

  • Right, I have that part (and you can just use the Count command for the calculation for group or summary rows.) I've done a quick experiment and can't seem to the get second level group (group by Localisation then by type) to show in the chart.

    Up to you. I'd keep it just in case others have the same question.
