Report Fields: Add Effort & Calculated Fields to Chooser

Hi Wrike Team!

We are using Wrike across our entire system integration facility, and I need a way to quickly calculate WIP (Work In Process) monthly for our assets. Our ERP system has all purchasing and commercial information by project, while Wrike has all labor by project. In order to properly calculate WIP, however, we need to know the percentage of labor which has been allocated (timelogged) per project against the quoted time (effort).

In table view, we use a calculated field of [Time Spent] / [Effort] and it works great! We can't use the same method in reporting, however. We need effort and calculated fields available for reporting!

I've seen other threads but I can't find any to upvote, so this is my attempt to start another thread!

Thanks everyone - great tool, we just all keep making it better together.

Has there been any movement on this? It's like I can see some of our calculated fields in my reports, but not all. Those fields definitely exist in the location targeted by the report and I've also tried making them account fields, but still no dice.

I would also be interested in seeing this incorporated, specifically having Effort included as a selectable field when creating calculated fields in reports. The only work around would be to create a duplicate custom field that copies the value of the effort field and then do a custom calculation from that. But that is rather silly.

Hi there! I second this, this would be beneficial at my organization as we have teams that would like to see reports of time spent vs. effort.

I know that we have been hearing rumblings that updates to reporting are in the works, but this is something that I think our time would find highly valuable as well!
