Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi I am at my wits end with attempting to cost load activity bars correctly I have tried everything.

I am simply wanting to assign an amount of money to an activity, then when this activity is updated for it to update the spend & remaining budget accordingly.

e.g. if I have an activity which is 10 days long and has £10k assigned to it, if this activity were 3 days (30%) complete I want it to then show £3k spent with £7k remaining. I have created a resource called £ and can get it to show the original amount but as soon as I move the start date, or update the durations, % complete etc it amends the figures & gives me random figures linked to the units per day etc etc

Can anyone help as at the moment I am manually working the figures out & each time I move the data date recalculating the spend & remaining!!

Thanks

Pat,

Post the settings you have in "Tools: Options : Autocost rules"

What "Activity type" are you using

Do you have service pack 3 loaded
