Thanks! this helped out a lot. Going to change the progress status to display words instead of status initials.

Its really a preference for the team.  I would prefer to do it the normal way, but I wanted to see if it was possible to do it in a task report maybe using nesting text or something.

Hi All, I'm trying to create a custom column on a project report that will display all active parent tasks in a project, along with the % complete. How would I go about creating a text code that would generate this for me?
