    HI GuysI have tried this

    HI Guys

    I have tried this formula in MSP 13 and it does not work - it brings back errors even though I have double checked it still no good - so either I am missing something or the formula is presented wrong - possibly more my fault I assume at this stage

    Please advisew anyway

    Thanks Brian

    Brian,For a response other

    Brian,

    For a response other than "double check harder," you need to be more specific. 

    What region are you in (determines whether to use commas or semi-colons)?

    What (exactly) is the formula you are entering?  In what field?

    What specific errors are you getting?

    Needless to say, is your installation fully up to date?

    Emily Your formula certainly

    Emily 

    Your formula certainly works fine and I did not doubt that it would not - I did use it for my project and I get a blank project - just like your 4 week lookahead - when I click on that it returns a blank - although you have no formula for that I believe anyway I used your formula which works fine but not in my Project - I need to go through and see where I am going wrong but again Thank you so much for the help and formula - I am doing something wrong that I need to remedy

    Best regards

    Hello,

    I have used Emilie's project and formula both in MSP 2016 US and MSP 2013 French, and it works fine! 

    I am working with Windows 7 in french, and the list separator is semi-column (;)

    Best regards
