Hi All, In a task report, is there a way to pull in the predecessor's planned completion date for a cross-project predecessor? I'm not sure how to trace back across the projects. Thanks, Jen Jennifer Gulledge Elkay Manufacturing Company Inc

Jennifer, While in the task view under the More drop down menu you should Predecessors. From there you should see a toggle between Predecessors and Cross-Project Predecessors, which once you are on the latter click + Add Predecessor and it's fairly straight forward after that. Hope that helps! John Albaugh GP PRO

Hi John, Thanks for chiming in. I do know how to find the date of the predecessor; my issue is trying to get the date to the predecessor pulled into a task report. I've attached a screenshot of what I'm trying to get to. The report itself is filtered to a common task in the listed projects. Where I need a little help is trying to pull in the right date to the Predecessor Due On column. Jennifer Gulledge Elkay Manufacturing Company Inc0690z000007ZhfOAAS.png
