SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project, when you open a project that was saved while the Grouping feature was selected, #ERROR may be displayed in the Task Name field on the group summary row.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when either of the following two conditions is true.

Condition 1

 * 1) You use a formula in a custom field.
 * 2) You group the project to be based on the custom field, in either the Task Usage or Resource Usage view.
 * 3) You save and close the project.
 * 4) You open the project.

Condition 2
The formula for the field on which you grouped the project generates #ERROR.



Workaround for Condition 1
To work around this behavior, remove and then reapply the grouping for the view. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Project menu, point to Group by, and then click No Group.
 * 2) On the Project menu, point to Group by, and then click Customize Group By.
 * 3) Click the arrow in the Field Name box, and then click the field that you want to group by.
 * 4) Click OK.

Workaround for Condition 2
Correct the formula error that is causing the #ERROR value to be displayed.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
