Hi Tracy, You have some advanced thinking going on with these KPI's -- very interesting! I have a few (untested) ideas that might help: - check your life after death settings in case one does allow edits to custom data on closed projects, as you wish it would - if not, consider procedurally moving the closed issue "out" from the closed project (eg to an "always open" override project), literally removing them from the equation - if (for transparency) you must keep the overridden issue under the original project, having moved it "out", consider procedurally editing the Issue as overridden (in the custom data), then moving it back "in" to the original project - alternatively, since tasks do behave as you desire, consider converting the issues that you need to override into no-predecessor/zero duration (to avoid affecting timeline) tasks, and then override those tasks - finally, try our Excel Updater solution in case the API allows the in-place override, where the UI does not "http://store.atappstore.com/product/excel-updater/">
