Definition of Total Cost
in [Project]
|
From: Peter Wells on 3 Sep 2005 09:19 Actually I'm looking for a variable that is the labor/resource costs but can't find one so am thinking about using "total cost" aka "cost" minus "fixed costs". Does anyone have the definition of "total cost" so I can see if my plan should work? Thank you, Peter
From: "JulieS" <passport6847 at maine dot rr dot on 3 Sep 2005 10:05 Hi Peter, The "Total Cost" field in the Cost table applied to the task sheet is actually the project [Cost] field. If you hover your mouse over the "Total Cost" column in the table, you'll see it says "Total Cost (Cost)". The [Cost] field in project includes the fixed cost + resource cost (work and material). So your idea of calculating resource costs with a custom field and the formula [Cost]-[Fixed Cost] should work just grand. Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
